Well, measuring the execution time of a command is not profiling. That wiki page about profiling is about measuring which parts of a program are slow. > I especially like the '--repeat <COUNT>' option, to compare the average > of multiple invocations of the command, instead of assuming a single run > is representitive of the norm. That's a good point. I use 'time' for measuring the execution time of a command. I agree that a '--repeat <COUNT>' option would make sense. Registered <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?67800> for this purpose. Bruno
