We have %ActionResult% now perhaps %ActionSeconds%?

While not built-in, this is exactly how I use my multi-timer macro: I toss in a call wherever I need a task's timing split out, and it does all the work.

MACRO: MultiTimer 1.3

A few years back, I wrote a simple macro timing tool to help optimize some routines I was writing. This worked great, and I'm still using it today. At least, I was until I realized I wanted a better timer… The main limitation on the previous timer was that you had to stop and start it each time you wanted to use it. I wanted a timer I could start at the beginning of the macro, and then have it record task times for various sections of the macro, and generate a report at the end, something like …

I've been using it a ton on the current project, and it's helped find chokepoints in my code. Built in would be great, but for now, this meets my needs. (I have a soon-to-post update that lowers the overhead even further, something like .015 seconds over a 25 second macro.)
