| The third parameter to [time] is "number of repetitions to perform".

Yes, I know.  Nevertheless, on my otherwise idle PC:

    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.60292 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.56502 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.52475 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.5317 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.4898 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.43831 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.482 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.44397 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.55761 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.51394 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.46066 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.48599 microseconds per iteration
    % time [list test1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] 100000
    0.45478 microseconds per iteration

I.e. min 0.43831, max 0.60292 (delta ~25%).  If it comes to
*micro*seconds, I think there is no 'accurate' timing this way.
