Re: is there a emacs lisp timing command?

[thierry . volpiatto]

hoops! i didn't remember i had this one also:

(defmacro chrono-func (output fn &rest args)
  `(let ((init-time (cadr (current-time)))
         (final-time)
         (final-result))
     (setq final-result (funcall ,fn ,@args))
     (setq final-time (- (cadr (current-time)) init-time))
     (message "Time:%2s s" final-time)
     (when ,output
       final-result)))

May be it's exactly what you want.
