Hi Peak, and welcome to RC. Thanks for your contributions so far, but I would just say that we tend to omit timings on RC or restrict them to orders_of_magnitude comparisons or use woolly terms such as "roughly 100 times faster than", or "" time for a coffee". The reason is if conditions are stated to make more accurate times reproducible then that information would obscure the comparison of other aspects of the language and, from other sites, it just isn't easy to do. In short, I, as a long term RC user, tend to very rarely quote timings. Thanks, --Paddy3118 (talk) 06:32, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
