-Super-lowlevel profiling of the interpreter. When enabled, the sys module grows
-a new function:
-
-settscdump(bool)
- If true, tell the Python interpreter to dump VM measurements to stderr. If
- false, turn off dump. The measurements are based on the processor's
- time-stamp counter.

-This build option requires a small amount of platform specific code. Currently
-this code is present for linux/x86 and any PowerPC platform that uses GCC
-(i.e. OS X and linux/ppc).
-
-On the PowerPC the rate at which the time base register is incremented is not
-defined by the architecture specification, so you'll need to find the manual for
-your specific processor. For the 750CX, 750CXe and 750FX (all sold as the G3)
-we find:

- The time base counter is clocked at a frequency that is one-fourth that of
- the bus clock.

-This build is enabled by the --with-tsc flag to configure.
