who made mili and micro so darn alike? IIRC you can use C's stuff.

Might I suggest std.perf? I found it here some years ago: http://www.digitalmars.com/techtips/timing_code.html It even seems to have survived the transition from D1 to D2. Oddly enough, this rather useful module never seems to never be included in the web documentation. :( Just read the comments in the source file that comes with your compiler. {dmd-path}/src/phobos/std/perf.d I've always used PerformanceCounter with good results.

I also use it. Why does it not get inserted on D1 and D2? thanks, josé

std.perf was added *years* ago, in D's infancy. It wasn't even written by Walter, so the docs never made it into the DM pages. The documentation embedded in it isn't even DDoc, it's Doxygen. It's always been sort of a misfit.

That hasn't been true for over a year. I cleaned it up a while back and made sure it worked with D2 [1]. The doc comments are all DDoc now. See for yourself [2]. Just hasn't been added to the index for some reason.
