\ccChapterAuthor{Lutz Kettner \and Sylvain Pion \and Michael Seel}


This chapter decribes classes for measuring user process time and real time
as well as the memory size.

A hash map \ccc{CGAL::Unique_hash_map} is offered that is specialized
on unique hash values of type \ccc{std::size_t}, i.e., it is
particularly useful for pointers, handles, iterators, and circulators
as key values.

Furthermore, a union-find data structure and the modifier base class
is documented.
