# Usage:
# When you want to measure your functon "Get-Something"
  function Get-Something {
    # i'm doing some heavy loading here
    return $something
  }
# Add Measure-Function like this:
  function Get-Something {
    Measure-function  "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)" {
      # i'm doing some heavy loading here
      return $something
    }
  }

# then check results in $global:perfcounters hashtable
