benchmarking - How to benchmark functions in Clojure?

Question

I know I can get the time take to evaluate a function can be printed out on the screen/stdout using the time function/macro.

The time macro returns the value of the evaluated function, which makes it great to use it inline. However I want to automatically measure the runtime under specific circumstances.

Is there a function which returns the elapsed time in some library to help with this benchmarking?
