timing: Timing of R expressions

In SciViews/SciViews: 'SciViews' - Data Processing and Visualization with the 'SciViews::R' Dialect

Timing of R expressions

Description

Similar to system.time() but returns a more convenient 'difftime' object with the overall timing (details are stored in the details attribute).

Usage

timing(expr, gc.first = TRUE)

Arguments

expr	Valid R expression to be timed. If missing, proc.time() is used instead and the function returns the time the currently running R process has already taken.
gc.first	Logical - should a garbage collection be performed immediately before the timing? Default is TRUE.

See Also

system.time(), proc.time()

Examples

test <- timing(Sys.sleep(0.5))
test
attr(test, "details")
