Of course, Brian is correct that the problem requires a great
deal more specificity.  However, one could imagine that it would
be useful to tag objects created by top-level expressions
with the time they were created in much the same way that the
file system provides a modification time.

It is easy enough to add the time as an attribute of an object,
but I imagine you are asking how to automate this.
To this end, you could do something with the addTaskCallback() function
which allows you to specify a function that is invoked
at the completion of each top-level evaluation.  You could
get store some useful time information with the object
or perhaps go further and work with the expressions
to determine dependencies and capture the dependencies in
a series of computations.
