How to output the duration of certain msbuild targets?
Today I copy/paste the following in each and every target I want to measure and log its duration:
<Target Name="YabaDabaDoo" ...>
<PropertyGroup>
<Start>$([System.DateTime]::Now.Ticks)</Start>
</PropertyGroup>
...
<PropertyGroup>
<End>$([System.DateTime]::Now.Ticks)</End>
<Ticks>$([MSBuild]::Subtract($(End), $(Start)))</Ticks>
<Elapsed>$([MSBuild]::Divide($(Ticks), 10000000))</Elapsed>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Text="Duration: $(Elapsed) seconds" Importance="High"/>
</Target>
I do not like it because it is too verbose and sometimes the target logic proper takes less space than duration logging.
Is there a way to implement it more concisely?

Have you considered implementing a logger that would do that? See http://msbuildlog.com for an example.
Here's the documentation on how to implement your own logger:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/build-loggers?view=vs-2017
If you run msbuild.exe /bl and then open the resulting .binlog in MSBuild Structured Log Viewer, it will show the durations of all targets in a timeline view:
