How about a new backslash command or psql variable to show how long the

If you don't have \timing turned on before the query starts, psql won't
record what the time was before the query, so you can't compute the run
time afterwards. This kind of feature would only work if you always
take the start time, even if \timing is turned off.
Correct. That seems acceptable though? gettimeofday() can be slow on
some platforms, but I doubt it's *that* slow, that we couldn't call it
two times per query.
