Do it the old fashioned way of course.. time out 10,000 loops on your
computer and then 5000 and then 2500, you now know
approximately how many loops is one second, and can do
without sleep etc..
Also, you can check clock speed and re-calibrate if you
want to get real fancy.. (ie, built in data says "this is a
33 mhz machine", from there, if you go to a 10 mhz machine
you reduce the number of loops..)
