Benchmark the time spent in a call to Time>>millisecondClockValue.
On the VM level this tests the efficiency of calls to ioMSecs().
Time benchmarkMillisecondClock
PII/400 Windows 98: 0.725 microseconds per call
Benchmark the overhead for primitive dispatches with an active Delay.
On the VM level, this tests the efficiency of ioLowResMSecs.
Time benchmarkPrimitiveResponseDelay
PII/400 Windows98: 0.128 microseconds per prim
Identify the major intervals in a bunch of numbers. Each number is a seconds since 1901 that represents a date and time. We want the last event in a bunch. Return array of seconds for:
Every event in the last half hour.
Every bunch separated by 30 min in the last 24 hours.
Every bunch separated by two hours before that.
Return English descriptions of the times in the array. They are each seconds since 1901. If two names are the same, append the date and time to distinguish them.
Primitive. Answer the number of milliseconds since the millisecond clock
was last reset or rolled over. Answer zero if the primitive fails.
Optional. See Object documentation whatIsAPrimitive.
Answer the number of seconds since 00:00 on the morning of
January 1, 1901 (a 32-bit unsigned number).
Essential. See Object documentation whatIsAPrimitive.
