 Enables the "even more" accurate timing at the cost of higher CPU
-utilization by using a tight loop which increments a counter.   This method
-provides the most accurate timing of any option, but requires you to specify
-a cost for each loop.  This cost value is VERY system dependent, so you will
-need to run --loop-test to get this value.
+utilization by using the RDTSC counter available on newer CPU's.
+Only works on more recent x86, x86_64 and PPC
