The sample <profile> is an example of one way of profiling
use the root counter 1.

Basically, a call to GetRCnt(1) obtains the value of this
counter; it seems to increment Very fast (not yet sure how fast),
and its range is (we think) 0-65535 ie unsigned_short,
and can be expected to wraparound very often (more than once
per second).

Sorry about the uncertainty, but we're unsure about the
other timers and whether or nopt they're usable.
Will post again soon.
