Thanks, but what does this mean?  What is behind a line such as

>   Timing insert-file-contents-literally:
>   Elapsed time: 8.375000s (0.187000s in 1 GCs)

What code was run, how many times, on which files, etc.?

Also, please compare that with Emacs 22, since this whole thread is
about comparative performance.

Thanks.
