Here are some advantages over CheckTicks:
* It has a true Mac interface. e.g. Menus, windows, etc.
* It lets you perform multiple "runs" of the tests (up to 5), to
obtain a true average, instead of a one time thing.
* It includes a GetNextEvent() test, a integer test, a floating
point test, and a graphics test.
* It is 32bit clean (unlike CheckTicks).
* There is a native version and a 68k version.
* There is a small database of Macs to compare your times to.
* v2.1 uses a much finer degree of timing (1/1,000,000 sec
(microseconds), as opposed to 1/60 sec (Ticks).
