title: How to benchmark functions in Clojure?
body: <p>I know I can get the time take to evaluate a function can be printed out on the screen/stdout using the time function/macro.</p>
  
  <p>The time macro returns the value of the evaluated function, which makes it great to use it inline. However I want to automatically measure the runtime under specific circumstances.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a function which returns the elapsed time in some library to help with this benchmarking?</p>
