[NTLUG:Discuss] 'time'ing compound commands.

Can someone explain to me why a command like....

time ( w; ls )

...doesn't "time"?   Oh sure, they both run, but they aren't timed.  Is 
there a way to do this without resorting to the setting of variables 
using `date +s`..and other such bash scripting?
