What you want is time ( command ; command )
I was going to suggest that myself, but when I tested in in bash, it didn't work for me. Does it work for you?
It works for me:
$ time (echo a ; echo b) a b
real 0m0.001s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s
What shell are you using? That doesn't work for me using Centos 4.4. My original command was time (ls; ls). I just tried you example and that doesn't work, either. I'm using bash.
