correction: 
these variables work - but not with this code

the assignement is wrong!

maybe reverse, 
but for me it was enough just to access $GLOBALS['SIM_EXEC_TIME'] without 
this assignment.

using these variables without assignment I got (like said in var-names):

// execution-time of script (full timestamp up to seconds)
$GLOBALS['EXEC_TIME']

// same as $GLOBALS['EXEC_TIME'] if no value is set in admin panel
// else:
// simulated execution time (based on entry of admin-panel)
// the entry in admin-panel can not hold any seconds!
// the value of admin-panel is modified by timezone or similar 
//   as it appears an offset of 1 hour for me
$GLOBALS['SIM_EXEC_TIME'] 

// execution-time of script (rounded to minutes)
$GLOBALS['ACCESS_TIME'];

// same as $GLOBALS['ACCESS_TIME'] if no value is set in admin panel
// else: same as $GLOBALS['SIM_EXEC_TIME'] 
$GLOBALS['SIM_ACCESS_TIME']
