<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.

Indicates heap memory allocation for the block at the specified nesting level.

<p>
MemDiff is a read-only Int64 property which provides indexed access to the
cumulative memory usage for a block at a specified nesting level. The value
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.

The property value is 0 (zero) if ALevel is not in the range 0..MaxDepth.
