millisecond timer for DU

Dear All,

I need to time some tasks. The main time() 3 is to coarse (at a second
resoloution), and the most apparent millisecond timer is not as convenient
as I would like (/usr/bin/time), although I could tweak what I'm doing to
use it.

Are there any convenient millisecond timers that will allow me to do this;

mtime1=$(milli_time)
#
# a few commands here
#
mtime2=$(milli_time)


Thanks,

Bob
