There are a few, actually. The two most important ones are os.startTimer() and os.clock().
The former fires an event after a specified time, which you can then pull. Most CC scripts perform their timing this way.
The latter gets you the number of seconds the system has been on for. Handy if you want to measure how long a given action took.
