Wow, that's using some old stuff - stuff older than the wiki. Weird. It was
probably ported from somewhere.

The best thing to use now is core.time.MonoTime. e.g.

MonoTime before = MonoTime.currTime();
...
MonoTime after = MonoTime.currTime();
Duration diff = before - after;

There are also some benchmarking functions in std.datetime, but they use
TickDuration (which is slated to be deprecated) and need to be replaced with
versions that use MonoTime.
