Measure without displaying results

Dear all,

In an automation routine with a Clojure macro, I use a loop over all
objects in an image with "DoWand", "Convex Hull" and then "Measure", so
that I can get the convex perimeter of each object, calculate the
Convexity, and then get the average Convexity from all objects in the field.

However, the "Measure" command always displays the results in the standard
output port, what creates an unnecessary delay in the routine. The "Analyze
Particles" does have the "Display" option, but "Measure" apparently does
not have such an option. I have actually used "Analyze Particles" instead
of "Measure" (iterating over the objects) but that is much slower still.

Is there a way to suppress the results display in "Measure"?
Is there a lower level command I could use to replace "Measure" in such a
Clojure macro?
For that matter, is there such a lower level command for "Set Measurements"
and/or "Analyze Particles"?

Thank you!
