This is what peak performance looks like:

console.log("before dothething");
let r = dothething();
console.log("after dothething");
console.log(r);

Be careful, the actual logging can happen at a later time, and because the log function may take a reference to the value, if you modify r it may show the modified version of r in the logging instead of the original r.
