static void Profile(string description, int iterations, Action func) 
{
    // clean up
    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
    GC.Collect();

    // warm up 
    func();

    var watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
        func();
    }
    watch.Stop();
    Console.Write(description);
    Console.WriteLine(" Time Elapsed {0} ms", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
}
