OK, it seems you are right. It turns out using
Measure-Command{...} was a rather poor way of measuring runtimes
because of startup/shutdown.
Using StopWatch, I now get consistent results, i.e nearly the
same times with or without the writeln, but always slightly
faster without. So all is sorted now.
Thx again.
