[PATCH v2 08/13] t/helper: add a test helper to compute hash speed

From

Message-ID
<20181015021900.1030041-9-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
In-Reply-To
<20181015021900.1030041-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

Add a utility (which is less for the testsuite and more for developers) that can compute hash speeds for whatever hash algorithms are implemented. This allows developers to test their personal systems to determine the performance characteristics of various algorithms.
