  Yes, TStopwatch class has been changed to let user to accumulate 
the result.
   To reset stopwatch 
  TStopwatch::Reset() method has been provided:
class TStopwatch : public TObject {
                 . . . 
public:
   void        Reset(){ResetCpuTime();ResetRealTime();}
   void        ResetCpuTime(Double_t time=0){Stop(); fTotalCpuTime = time;} 
   void        ResetRealTime(Double_t time=0){Stop(); fTotalRealTime = time;}
                 . . . 
};
  Very likely some extra parameter for Start() method would be useful
   something like 
   TStopwatch::Start(Boo_t resetflag=kFALSE);
instead of
   TStopwatch::Start();
  I'll introduece this.
  Thank you for idea.
