2 There is a function in rjf;timer fasl called TIMER which given any
3 macsyma expression or command E, will tell how long it takes to evaluate
4 E by returning a value of the form xxx msec + yyy gc. The result of
5 evaluating E is available as the value of RESULT. Example of use:
6 TIMER(factor(x^99-y^99)); . (Rationale is you can now do arithmetic
7 on times. xxx is runtime excluding gc time.)
