uses
  typinfo;

type
  tenum = (e1, e2, e3);

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
  c = 10000000;
  m = 'hh:nn:ss:zzzz';
var
  i: integer;
  en: tenum;
  s, r: string;
  b, e: tdatetime;
begin
  en := e2;
  b := now;
  for i := 1 to c do
    writestr(s, en);
  e := now;
  r := formatdatetime(m, e - b);
  e := b;

  b := now;
  for i := 1 to c do
    getenumname(typeinfo(tenum), integer(en));
  e := now;

  r += ' - ' + formatdatetime(m, e - b);

  ShowMessage(r);
end;

Result:
