Thanks for the ideas everybody!

I may write up my own "timer" wrapper that uses $EPOCHREALTIME for the benchmarking.

It's a bit more complicated than that; "time" with is handed fairly
deep in the exec.c call stack, with a special case for an empty list,
and actually requesting/printing the data when there is a list is
passed off to the SIGCHLD handler, so it would take a bit more
untangling than I'm going to dive into.
