Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:5 kcrisman]:
 > I'm changing the summary.  This is really a bug, if it's a bug, in the
 way interface/qsieve.py is written. Could we use whatever does `time` or
 `timeit` in Sage?

 Try this:
 {{{
 sage: ?walltime
 Type:       function
 String Form:<function walltime at 0xb9d488>
 File:       /usr/local/src/sage-5.7.beta1/local/lib/python2.7/site-
 packages/sage/misc/misc.py
 Definition: walltime(t=0)
 Docstring:
    Return the wall time in second, or with optional argument t, return
    the wall time since time t. "Wall time" means the time on a wall
    clock, i.e., the actual time.

    INPUT:

    * "t" - (optional) float, time in CPU seconds

    OUTPUT:

    * "float" - time in seconds

    EXAMPLES:

       sage: w = walltime()
       sage: F = factor(2^199-1)
       sage: walltime(w)   # somewhat random
       0.8823847770690918
 }}}
