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