Yes. I am using my timing functions to determine optimum performance in many situations.

The system clock tick is platform dependent. OTOH, the 0.001 limit for the WAIT function looks like platform independent. Below the limit the WAIT function doesn't wait at all, it returns "immediately" as my measurements seem to prove.

You can find the functions here: http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/include.r - My dependancy-resolving function http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/seconds.r - Function computing time between two dates in seconds http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/timblk.r - Timing functions Moreover, I uploaded my Merge Sort implementation (I am using it since Rebol 1.x days and this is not the first time I am publishing it): http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/msort.r -L

Great scripts Ladislav - I will go thru these much more and add them to my inventory. I'm sure they will be useful.
