I believe a more accurate test then can be performed by compiling in GUI mode and popping up a MessageBox with the result once the test is finished.

Here we go then:
Code:
'compile using: fbc -s gui speed.bas
'$include: "win\user32.bi"
aaa = TIMER
'test: 0.277 to -8.895 seconds
'-------------------------------------
FOR bbb=1 TO 100000: ccc=bbb: NEXT
'-------------------------------------
MessageBox NULL, "Loop: "+chr$(9) + str$(ccc) + _
" cycles." + chr$(13) + chr$(10) + _
"Duration: " +chr$(9) + str$(TIMER - aaa) + _
" sec.", "Result", MB_OK+MB_ICONASTERISK
