Something I've done is to output high to a pin before the code and low after. Use an oscilloscope to capture the pulse on that pin, and use the cursor.

best way ?

we all have OUR 'best way'...

I prefer to dump the listing, highlight the 'specific section of code', referenece the PIC's instruction set and then calculate the time. With 'lower end' PICs, a 4MHz xtal gives a 1us execute time per most instructions. Easy to recallculate for say a 20MHz xtal, the time will be 5 times faster.

The scope method will work but depends on how good($$$) a scope you have and IF if has been calibrated !!

The MPLAB vs. 8.92 Stopwatch feature can be used to measure how
many cycles (and microseconds) it takes to execute a block of code:
