;;; Commentary:

;; Utilities for timing the execution of forms, including the time
;; taken for GC.  Note that prior to timing code you may want to
;; ensure things like:  there has just been a GC, the relevant code is
;; already loaded (so that there's no overhead from autoloading etc.),
;; and the code is compiled if appropriate (but see
;; `benchmark-run-compiled').

;;; Code:

(defmacro benchmark-elapse (&rest forms)
  "Return the time in seconds elapsed for execution of FORMS."
  (let ((t1 (make-symbol "t1"))

	  (- (nth 1 ,t2) (nth 1 ,t1))
