SHOWTIME _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ command

The showtime command prints the elapsed system time since the last call of this command or since the beginning of the session, if it has not been called before.

examples:

showtime; 

  Time: 1020 ms 


factorize(x^4 - 8x^4 + 8x^2 - 136x - 153);
			 


          2
  {X - 9,X  + 17,X + 1} 


showtime; 

  Time: 920 ms

The time printed is either the elapsed cpu time or the elapsed wal l clock time, depending on your system. showtime allows you to see the system time resources REDUCE uses in its calculations. Your time readings will of course vary from this example according to the system you use.
