This may be the wrong newsgroup for this.

I'd like to be able to time how long it takes for groups of emacs commands,
such as moving around, cutting and pasting, saving files, finding files,
etc ..., to complete. I've been thru the emacs-lisp manual and haven't 
found anything better than issueing a shell-command and performing a date
call before and after I've executed the group of emacs commands. That
works but isn't very accuate at all.

Has anyone got a better solution?

Thanks in advance
Mike
