I am assuming you are referring to the load time of an include file (and
I wasn't real confident).  The rest of the data should be OK.

Here is that part of the code.

t=time()
tt=hrtime()
include all.e -- all Eu includes except safe.e
printf(fn,"E_file load: time(): %f  hrtime(): %f\n",
        {time()-t,hrtime()-tt})

If you're right, then all I was measuring was the (very short) scan
time of the included file :(  Have to try another way... Thanks.
