}It expects the command to be timed, for example: "splitOnWhiteSpace {$currentStr} -1 -1 True".It furthermore expects iterations and tries. Optionally you can set the output.Personally I think that you will use it most often interactively, so default the output is shown, but it can be disabled. Then it gives only back the average of the timings.As always: comments, tips, questions and requests are appreciated.
