There are a couple of options for measuring the execution time of any vi, including IMAQ.
You can use the profile vi's tool, which will give you all sorts of interesting information about every vi in your hierarchy. The numbers are fairly reliable as a good estimate of the amount of time used by each vi.
You can also read the millisecond timer before and after you execute the specific vi you are interested. If your program is fairly linear, this will work well.
