calls_per_second ( function,  averaging_interval )

Uses wall clock time time.time() instead of CPU time time.clock() since the latter does not catch time spent waiting for graphics card.

The Chimera frameUpdate() loop is bypassed. The Chimera frameUpdate() loop introduces a delay of chimera.update.UPDATE_INTERVAL msec.

OpenGL SwapBuffers calls are suppressed by turning on Chimera viewer benchmarking flag. This prevents delays when SwapBuffers is synchronized to the monitor vertical retrace.
