Question Please Help ( Calculate time taken in a script)

Hello,
I want to know how to calculate time difference in unix shell script. Time command in unix will not solve my problem because it calculates total time taken by a script.

See the examle below.

example :-
#!/bin/ksh
# This is just example
# Start the timer
Shell commands ..
Shell commands .

# End of timer

# I want to know how much time taken between start the timer and end of timer.

Is there unix built in commands to do it easily.

Unix Guru's please suggest.
Thanks
Sanjay
