[GAP Forum] Runtime

[Tim Kohl]

One thing to note about using Print for diagnostics is that sometimes the output may be buffered
so that you don't always see the loop index as the loop is proceeding. In that instance the Display()
command is a better option since it's not buffered and so you'll get 'real time' information.
