TimeIt

This module exports a @timeit macro that works similarly to the %timeit magic in IPython.

Installation:

julia> Pkg.clone("git://github.com/kbarbary/TimeIt.jl.git")

Usage:

julia> using TimeIt

julia> x = rand(10000); y = rand(10000)

julia> @timeit x .* y
10000 loops, best of 3: 58.59 µs per loop

Differences from IPython %timeit:

This macro doesn't turn off the garbage collector, whereas the Python version does. I haven't found consistent timings when turing the gc off.
This macro aims to make the total time between 0.1 and 1 seconds, whereas the Python version aims at 0.2 to 2 seconds.
