Use logging stages:

Total.

If you mean flops, only if you count them yourself and tell PETSc using
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-dev/docs/manualpages/Profiling/PetscLogFlops.html

This is the disadvantage of using packages that do not properly monitor

experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
