Hi, everyone!
To measure execution time, I used profile function.
(profileReset(), profile('time), profileSummary(?file "./measure.txt")

When I opend "measure.txt" file, I can see next message.

Function Name             Total       Inside
-------------------            -------       -------
TOTAL CPU TIme(sec)   46.81       46.81
gc                                 42.47       42.47
toplevel                          4.34         0.00
ReFsave                         4.06         0.00
RefCheck                        3.73         0.19
axlAirGap                        0.46         0.00
                   .....

In my skill code, "ReFsave", "RefCheck" and axlAirGap functions were used.
But I don't use gc functions.
What thoes that mean?

    The gc function is Skill's Garbare Collection facility. If you believe this time is on the high
    side you may want to do the following:
    - skill lint your code and implement its suggestions
    - consult the performance section of the Skill User Manual
    - see if the code can implement the suggestions in
