It's a profiling/logging feature, so that I can see how long
individual operations are taking to execute and to provide some
debugging output.

To enable the stopwatch, use:

    $EnableDiag = 1;
    $EnableStopWatch = 1;
    $HTMLFooterFmt['stopwatch'] = 'function:StopWatchHTML 1';

To add an entry to the stopwatch log (e.g., from a custom
recipe or function), it's just

    StopWatch('function_name message');

The first call to StopWatch() is always considered to be time "zero" 
-- all other times are relative to that.  Setting $EnableStopWatch
to 1 will display the wall-clock time; systems that support PHP's
getrusage() function (typically Unix/Linux) can set $EnableStopWatch
to 2 to get the wall-clock time and the CPU time.
