The documentation explains the difference, but it's a bit
This is in part an answer, in part a question. If 'b' is a "simple
value", then somethign like:
timer f a = do
t1 <- get current time
t2 <- f a `seq` get current time
return (different in t2 and t1)
(my memory of Time fails right now, so fill in the proper functions.)
perhaps safer is to
