You can measure the weight – it is called weighing.
If you measure time, what is that called? Is there a single English word for this?
I'm thinking especially in the context of measuring the performance of something, for example, to measure the time it takes for a computer program to complete a specific task or to measure the time it takes a runner to run 100 meters.

If you're measuring the time it takes a runner to run 100 meters, you are timing the runner, or clocking the runner.
