[racket] Extract values from `time` function

You want to use the `time-apply' function.  The documentation is here:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/time.html?q=time-apply#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._time-apply%29%29

In general, (time e) can be converted to (time-apply (lambda () e)
'()), which produces values instead of printing them.
