DESCRIPTION
     This command will call the Tcl interpreter  _c_o_u_n_t  times  to
     evaluate _s_c_r_i_p_t (or once if _c_o_u_n_t isn't specified).  It will
     then return a string of the form
          503 microseconds per iteration
     which indicates the average  amount  of  time  required  per
     iteration,  in  microseconds.   Time  is measured in elapsed
     time, not CPU time.
