- Greetings!
- The time function is nifty: (time (stuff to be timed)), but it sends its
- info to *standard-output*. Is there a way to get the output in machine
- useable form? Or, are there functions out there that give the same sort of
- nifty info (time in secs, GC and multitasking times that can be subtracted
- off, memory allocated)? I know about decoding get-internal-real-time, but
- the the time function is very useful as is and it has all the info in one
- place.

- Thanks
