function Measure-These { <# .SYNOPSIS Svendsen Tech's Benchmarking Module for PowerShell. Benchmark PowerShell script blocks and (virtually) any "DOS"/cmd.exe command using this module built around PowerShell's Measure-Command cmdlet. It is designed to give a quick, convenient overview of how code performs when doing for instance the same thing in different ways. MIT license. .DESCRIPTION This is a benchmarking module for PowerShell. Get objects containing data about the execution time of script blocks. Pipe to Format-Table -AutoSize for a direct report. You can also assign the resulting objects to a variable (do not use Format-Table when assigning to a variable).

Pass in multiple counts separated by commas. .PARAMETER ScriptBlock Script block(s) to time the execution time of and collect data about. .PARAMETER Title Optional titles for each script block. Title 1 goes with block 1, 2 with 2, and so on. If you omit titles, you will get numbered script blocks (from left to right). If you have fewer titles than script blocks, you will get numbers when you "run out of titles". .PARAMETER Precision Specify number of digits after the decimal separator. Default 5. Maximum 15. Trailing zeroes are removed by the [Math]::Round() static function. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [Int32[]] $Count, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ScriptBlock[]] $ScriptBlock, [String[]] $Title = @(''), [ValidateRange(1, 15)][Byte] $Precision = 5) begin { } process { $Times = @() $BlockNumber = 0 foreach ($LoopCount in $Count) { $ScriptBlock | ForEach-Object { $Block = $_ $BlockNumber++ $Times += 1..$LoopCount | ForEach-Object { Measure-Command -Expression $Block | # Process the current block once for each specified $Count.
