``monotimes`` for benchmarking?

[pmags]

Is `std/monotimes` the preferred method for quick benchmarking of nim code? 
e.g. if I want to compare to different implementations of an algorithm is this 
a useful quick and dirty approach?
    
    
    import std/monotimes
    
    var t0 = getMonoTime()
    r = fxn1(....)
    var t1 = getMonoTime()
    echo "fxn1: "
    echo t1-t0
    
    t0 = getMonoTime()
    r = fxn2(....)
    t1 = getMonoTime()
    echo "fxn2: "
    echo t1-t0
    
    
    Run
