Here is a https://gist.github.com/anoved/5015831%|%benchmark procedure%|% I use as a simple alternative to the [bench] package for quick timing comparison tests:

======
#
# Parameters:
#        script, the code to benchmark. Executed in caller's context.
#        iterations, number of times to execute script. Defaults to 1.
#
# Returns:
#        a two-element list reporting the average iteration time to execute script
#        and the total elapsed time in microseconds.
#
proc benchmark {script {iterations 1}} {
        set start   [clock microseconds]
        set average [uplevel 1 [list time $script $iterations]]
        set end     [clock microseconds]
        set total   [expr {$end - $start}]
        return      [list [lindex $average 0] $total]
}
