multitime
Unix's time utility is a simple and often effective way of measuring
how long a command takes to run. Unfortunately, running a command once
can give misleading timings: the process may create a cache on its first
execution, running faster subsequently; other processes may cause the
command to be starved of CPU or IO time; etc. It is common to see people
run time several times and take whichever values they feel most
comfortable with. Inevitably, this causes problems.
multitime is, in essence, a simple extension to time which runs a
command multiple times and prints the timing means (with confidence
intervals), standard deviations, minimums, medians, and maximums having
done so. This can give a much better understanding of the command's
performance.
