I'll say it again ...  time() returns an atom and not an integer.

So therefore the variable you assign the result to must be an atom and not an
integer.

You code should be more like ...

include get.e
include misc.e

atom start, stop   -- NOT INTEGER
procedure loop()
start = time()
-- Time to start some long loop
puts(2, "At loop:")  -- OUTSIDE THE LOOP
for i = 0 to 100000 do
? i
end for
clear_screen() -- OUTSIDE THE LOOP
stop = time() - start
printf(2, "Total time Elapsed: %f", stop)  -- NOT %d
sleep(2)
end procedure
loop()

By the way, this took 20.68 seconds on my machine.
