It will execute the specified command and measure the time it takes for that command to complete. All measurements are done via *high-resolution* performance timers. In order to obtain more accurate results, the each command will be executed *multiple* times. The number of runs can be configured as needed. TimedExec will then compute the *average* execution time, as well as the *fastest* and *slowest* execution time. Furthermore, the *standard deviation* of all runs will be computed. Last but not least, an optional number "warm-up" runs will be executed before the first measured run. +**TimedExec** is a small utility for *benchmarking* command-line programs.

In order to obtain more accurate results, all measurements are done via *high-resolution* performance timers. Also, in order to filter out environmental noise, each test will be repeated *multiple* times. The number of test runs can be configured as needed.
