title: MySQL - Disabling the query output and showing only the total execution time taken
body: <p>I have a stored procedure which I want to test for speed in a production environment. So I created a new stored procedure which calls this for a 100 times, each time with different parameters.
  My question is: how can I disable the output that the MySQL command line prints as I am sure that this adds to the total time.
  So, to recap, from the MySQL command line I would like to perform something like the following:</p>
  
  <p>MySQL> call cbtest;</p>
  
  <p>and I want it to display just the total time taken to run the 100 test sp calls (wrapped in cbtest) rather than show me the results returned for each call.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Tim</p>
