For example, if there was such a function called processor-time, this should return (close to) 0: (let ((start (processor-time))) (sleep-for 10) (- (processor-time) start)) , whereas current-time would indicate that ten seconds passed sleeping. -- Lars Brinkhoff, Services for Unix, Linux, GCC, HTTP Brinkhoff Consulting http://www.brinkhoff.se/
