love.timer.getTime( )
Note that this function does not get the current time! It is meant for
timing pieces of code.
Also, this function is not very precise at the moment, since SDL's timer is used. This will change in some time in the future when modules for timers with higher resolutions are created.

Example 1: Timing code.
-- Assuming we have a huge (10000) array of sprites:
function draw()
local t = love.graphics.getTime()
for i=1,10000 do
love.graphics.draw(sprites[i], sprites[i].x, sprites[i].y)
end
local elapsed = love.graphics.getTime() - t
print("Time used to draw: " .. elapsed .. " seconds.")
end
