But you don't know how BIOS implements this service. If BIOS writer make it crappy then you got bad result and it may differ from pure time needed for mode switch. Maybe I would get better result if I install a dummy RM ISR (just IRET) for some unused INT vector and then call it via __dpmi_int(myINT, &regs); and measure the time. But it will also counts DPMI server overhead...
