Hi P_ter,

I'm not exactly sure what examples you are talking about in ref/ 
Animator since there are a lot of examples there, but here is a quick  
answer to your question.  You can do this:

Timing[Do[Print[Timing[n!]],{n,10}]]

This will give you the total time to go 10 laps and the time required  
for each lap.  Clearly, you can change n! and 10 to be whatever you  
want.
