Sys.sleep(1)
timeTT$stop("event1", RMSE = 1, MAE = 1.3, stars = "*", 
            params = "maxiter=100, lr=0.01", comment = "OK for 1",  
            printmsg = TRUE)
timeTT$start("event2")
Sys.sleep(2)
timeTT$stop("event2", RMSE = 2, MAE = 2.6, stars = "**",  
            params = "maxiter=1000, lr=0.001", comment = "OK for 2",
