Hi Pilou,

But only if you repeat the function with the same input curves. For example sweep generally does not take as long as with it does with your complex curves.


> You don't think any time to see you clock

But you want to see the final elapsed time somewhere, right? Where would I display it?


> Not so difficult I presume :)

Doing the timing itself is certainly very easy. The difficult part is figuring out where in the UI I could display that information back to you, without it just causing clutter for regular use.

The problem is that feature would not do any good for regular simple usage where things are only taking less than a few seconds for each operation... One thing that keeps MoI easy to use is I try to get the most use out of the UI as possible, if something is only useful in one particular special case, it makes it difficult to justify allocating a part of the UI for it.

If I add too many things to the standard UI, pretty soon it gets very cluttered, and once it gets cluttered it gets harder to use.... That would be my concern with this option.
