> The manual test Cipher/DES/PerformanceTest.java fails with ArithmeticException due to potential division by zero. The issue arises when calculating the elapsed time using end - start, which could result in zero milliseconds if start and end are identical due to the high speed of execution. This leads to a division error in the following code snippet:
