[R-SIG-Mac] timer (for those who like that sort of thing)

[Jan de Leeuw]

This gives timer.R, as well as results for

-- a quad G5 with 4GB RAM and R-devel compiled with vecLib and gcc-3.x
-- a quad MacPro with 5GB RAM and R-devel compiled with vecLib and  
gcc-4.2.0

You'll see the MacPro/G5 time ratio is about 0.60, almost twice
as fast, for the hilbert and sort tasks. For loess the MacPro is  
slower (!!),
but that probably is a function of the two different versions of vecLib.

I'll try the Intel compilers and the appropriate ATLAS (or Intel MKL/IPP
frameworks) later.
