[PEAK] PROPOSAL: Performance tracking service for PEAK

[Uwe (Peter) Feldtmann]

Would you consider adding pause() and pause_all() methods?

These would enable timers to be used in say a time logging app where the 
user is working on one area with a timer running and is interrupted by 
another task that needs to be timed independantly and exclusively.
