* Function: benchmark
* Author: Michael Bailey <[email protected]>
* Date: 5 Dec 2002
* License: GPL (General Public License)
* Purpose: This function will run the line of code
* sent as the first parameter and return
* the time it took to complete execution.
* If a second parameter is passed, the
* function will run the code the specified
* number of times, taking the average. This
* will return a better approximation. The
* last parameter allows you to send code to
* be executed between iterations, in case
* something needs to be reset (ie. global
* variables, etc...). The function returns
* the number of seconds
* with a bunch of decimal places.
