timeStamp()

I think MaxScripters know about timeStamp() function in Max. It gives time-of-day in milliseconds and is useful in time calculations. For example if we need to check rendering time:

start = timeStamp()
render()
end = timeStamp()
format "Processing: % seconds\n" ((end - start) / 1000.0)

Also timeStamp() is useful in scripts testing where we need to compare the speed of execution of different expressions with the same result.
