Yep, that would be a cool use aswell... the ability to insert /bench into an existing script to test a segment of code without having to break it up into aliases.
Alias PLUGH {
var %s = $1-
xyzzy
foo
bench {
code to
speed test
goes in here
}
yatta!
}
This method would display bench results for that segment of code in your status window. This could be useful inside of a while loop to see if your code is slowing down as the loop progresses, or to compare speed improvements between /write and /hadd, etc.
Perhaps an identifier $benched could return the results of the prior bench, so you can plot a graph or something. If you dont want results to appear in your status window, the '.' prefix could be used on .bench.
