Source:  C, C++ and Java
The benchmark timing mode allows the user to understand the speed that RSM processes the source files.  The timing results depend upon the runtime option used and the destination of the report.  Reports which are redirected to a file yield faster processing times than those which must endure the latency of the terminal output device.   The > is standard for redirection in both the UNIX and Windows operating systems.
                        ~~ Performance Benchmark ~~

  A process benchmark has been determined for this metrics analysis.
  The elapsed time for processing is effected by the I/O response of
  standard out or the redirection device.  The fastest RSM benchmarks
  result from redirecting the output to a file on a local file system.
  The benchmark is intended for comparative purposes and is not designed
  to yield a definitive result.
