The C shell has a builtin time command (very convenient for
interactive use), and there's also /usr/bin/time which can
be used from within a sh script.

Example:

% which time
time: shell built-in command.
% time ls
0.012u 0.000s 0:00.03 33.3%     24+840k 0+0io 0pf+0w

For comparison:

% /usr/bin/time ls
        0.03 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys
