Yes, thanks for the source !

I have a similar approuch with another piece of code, to create a stopwatch function for timing some sections. And this URL shows this approuch.

However.

My approuch was to generate as FAST as possible a diff parse
time to have a quick reply for parsing time. If You calculate the pasing time of a generated page, Your function does need to be short and fast,
to have sharp results.

Additionally, this function works with a STATIC variable to remember start of parsing.

So BOTH are needed.

I post it in the other thread. Thanks.

Yes, please post your solution -- it sounds nice.

FWIW, I Personally hink it is useful to do timing for relative metrics. I have no expectations or real need for high-precision. I see generation time as a developer/operations issue -- I doubt users care since their round-trip time has several other mitigating (and typically more important) factors involved.

Greetings.
