<short>
Calculates the cumulative execution time for the block at the specified

<descr>
<p>
TimeDiff is a read-only QWord property which provides indexed access to the 
cumulative execution time for the block at the specified nesting level. The 
value represents a number of "ticks" or milliseconds as returned from the 
GetTickCount64 routine in the RTL.
</p>
<p>
The property value is calculated as the difference between the current "tick" 
value and the execution start time from the parent block. A timer overflow 
condition is handled in the calculation. The property value is 0 (zero) when 
ALevel is not in the range 0..MaxDepth.

<p>
MemDiff is a read-only Int64 property which provides indexed access to the

is calculated as the difference between the current memory allocation in the 
block and the initial memory allocation in the parent block. The property 
value reflects heap memory allocation.
