Well, it was not a question, it was sharing. I wanted something that
showed the needed time, but also the result. It was not a piece of
art, but something I thought could be useful to share.

I already did that. Sort of. I made a version that defaults to
printing the needed time and returning the result, but can me made to
put the time in a tuple with the result.

I must be very slow. :'-( It took more as 20 seconds.
