If you write the timing code in Lisp itself, then the timing should only apply
to manipulations within the timed form.  If the same code is then run on
GuileEmacs and Emacs 10 times each for a large sample, with highest and lowest
thrown out and the remaining averaged, it should be a pretty fair comparison.
