Hi,

I just made a basic command line application to measure the time it took to execute a command line. I've done it to benchmark some I/O routines in a basic command-line application. It might be usefull for people who batch encode some files and want to check how long it took (for audio, video, zip, whatever)... There is a silent mode that will only output the time. It could be used to only have the time displayed at the end of the batch for further processing (with sed, bc and such stuff).

Nice. Another option is to use 4NT and its "timer" function for this (this is what I use).

Apparently, someone at Microsoft had the same idea

And UNIX has had this forever with the 'time' command.
