CPU time in iteration process

Question

Let $Tx=\frac{x}{2}$ for all $x\in[0,1]$. Let $x_{0}\in[0,1]$ and set an iterative sequence $\{x_{n}\}$ by the method $x_{n+1}=Tx_{n}$. Now if $x_{0}=0.8$, then I get a convergent sequence towards the unique fixed point of $T$ as follows. But I need the CPU time in this case. How I set the CPU time or where I can check the CPU time for method.

T[x_] := T[x] = (x/2);
x[0] = 0.9;
x[n_] := x[n] = T[x[n - 1]];
NumberForm[{Table[x[i], {i, 0, 6}]}, 9]
{{0.9, 0.45, 0.225, 0.1125, 0.05625, 0.028125, 0.0140625, 0.00703125}}

One way is to use TimeUsed[] and at the end subtract the times. Something like this

t0 = TimeUsed[];
T[x_] := T[x] = (x/2);
x[0] = 0.9;
x[n_] := x[n] = T[x[n - 1]];
Quiet@NumberForm[{Table[x[i], {i, 0, 100000}]}, 9];
Print["time used in CPU seconds is ", TimeUsed[] - t0]

Which gives

If you want clock time used (not CPU time), then you can use AbsoluteTiming but note this measures time elapsed, not CPU time. This are not the same. So it depends on what you want.
