This directory contains stand-alone source code for a program that tests the
speed of various robot computation routines on a particular machine.

	WARNING: We haven't built an Imakefile for this directory yet, so
	you will have to hand-taylor the compilation options in the Makefile
	yourself.

What you want to do is build the program "speed", and then call it with an
iteration count. It will then go ahead and try to measure the execution time
for a set of benchmark functions, by calling each function in a loop for the
number of times given by the interation count, measuring the system time
before and after the loop, estimating and subtracting the loop overhead, and
dividing by the iteration count. Giving a higher iteration count will give
more accurate results.

The program "speed.table" times the same routines as "speed", except that it
uses table lookup routines for the trig functions.
