Counting ExecutionTime may not be safe to date changes

Description (last modified by abeham)

I'm not entirely sure about this and it's a rare case, but since we're using local time to measure it could be possible that we obtain one measurement before a time zone or daylight savings change and the other afterwards. The next daylight savings change is on October 30th, 2011.

We should either use DateTime.UtcNow or the Stopwatch class.

    private void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e) {
      System.Timers.Timer timer = (System.Timers.Timer)sender;
      timer.Enabled = false;
      DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
      ExecutionTime += now - lastUpdateTime;
      lastUpdateTime = now;
      timer.Enabled = true;
    }

I think we should use the Stopwatch for this kind of task.
