I need to measure time elapsed in seconds, like this:

This works, but I wonder if there is something better that
using the magic constant 10000000. I read about 10.secs giving
the duration of 10 seconds, but I don't understand how to adapt
this to my case. I've read the documentation of core.time,
std.datetime (and the Introduction to this package) but I can't
make head or tail of it.
PS: It's not about benchmarking. I'd like to show the user the
time elapsed.
How about something like this:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
import core.thread, core.time;
import std.conv, std.datetime;
auto start = Clock.currTime;
Thread.sleep(500.msecs);
auto diff = Clock.currTime - start;
diff.writeln; // Duration
(diff.total!"msecs").writeln;
(to!("msecs", long) (diff.to!TickDuration)).writeln;
(to!("msecs", double)(diff. to!TickDuration)).writeln;
}
Note that TickDuration is deprecated.
