Accuracy benchmark of the samp-precise-timers plugin

samp-precise-timers-benchmark.pwn

//////////////////
/*
These are the results of 1 minute of samp-precise-timers accuracy tests in a server with NPCs and several other timers w/ moderately sized functions on each actively running.
Please note that the most severe innacuracies are most likely to be caused by the time it takes the AMX instance to finish a callback before serving the Timer's call rather than the timer itself being inaccurate.
 
The results display that even in these conditions the timer's accuracy remains within a <1% threshold, 99% of the time.
