rtime - measures real time

Calling sequence:

rtime(statement)
rtime()

Parameter:

statement   --  statement

Summary:

rtime(statement) executes the statementstatement and returns the consumed
real time.  Any statement can be given as argument.  rtime() returns the
entire real time used since starting the MuPAD session. rtime returns the
time in milliseconds. Note that at present the last three digits are always 0,
i.e. the function only measures the time in seconds.

This function has been included because the results of the CPU time measurement
are sometimes not very informative. This is especially true of computers that
use the parallelismof MuPAD. rtime is a kernel function.

>>  rtime((a := isprime(fact(90)-1))); a;

     1000, FALSE
