calculate length of function call

[aitchon]

I want to time a function to see how long it takes to complete:

<$timestarted=(convert( 'now' , 'date' ))>
<functioncall>
<$timeended=(convert( 'now' , 'date' ))>
<$timeelapsed=($timeended-$timestarted)>

I assume that $timeelapsed will return the length in seconds. Is there any way that I can have it return how many milliseconds it took?

Check out the <sysinfo proctime> example at the bottom
of the sysinfo manual page for an example of sub-second
resolution:
