Thanks. I will ponder how to best expose this in the interface. An option would be to return a tuple of Stats records where the first component is the wall clock time and the second is the CPU time. I might have to run the action twice to avoid extra measuring overhead. For example, in startCpu <- getCPUTime startWall <- getCurrentTime action endWall <- getCurrentTime endCpu <- getCPUTime the measured time includes the two calls to getCurrentTime. Running the action twice will double the benchmark running time which might or might not matter.
