Were you looking for the stats of how long the require statements took in your scripts?

It's time to use (time-require)[https://www.npmjs.org/package/time-require] a node module that displays the execution time for Node.js modules loading by hooking and tracing all require() calls.

Example Usage:

$ cat > time-require
require("time-require");
^C

$ node time-require

Total require(): 8
Total time: 78ms

This module makes use of a require (hook)[https://github.com/jaguard/time-require/blob/master/src/requireHook.js#L71] which is loaded as the first module so all the other requires gets counted, unhooks and then prints out a neat table with the totalTime = Date.now() - startTime.getTime(); and the number of modules that were required.
