How to time the duration of something...

I'm trying to time how long it takes for someone to finish a level down to the nearest 1/100th of a second (eg. 37.34 seconds). Initially what I did was set a "Timer" that stated: Every 0.01 seconds, increment "variable" by 0.01 seconds and when the level's done, save the value of this variable. I knew right from the start that this wasn't ideal, as it would be a tremendous load on the processor. Sure enough, the timer wasn't keeping up. It was taking 3-4 seconds just to complete a whole second. It works fine for 1/10th of a second. So surely I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be and there must be a better way.

Aaaaaaand... GO!

34 minutes and still no response??? What is this, the stone age? :)
