timing: Timing of R expressions.

Description

Similar to `system.time()` but returns a more convenient 'difftime' object.

Usage

timing(expr, gc.first = TRUE)

Arguments

expr

Valid R expression to be timed. If missing, [proc.time()] is used instead.

gc.first

Logical - should a garbage collection be performed immediately before the timing? Default is `TRUE`.

test <- timing(Sys.sleep(0.5))

attr(test, "details")
