Description:

def runs_per_second(generator, seconds=3):
    ''' 
use this function as a profiler for both functions and generators
to see how many iterations or cycles they can run per second 

Example usage for timing simple operations/functions:

``` 
    print(runs_per_second(lambda:1+2))
    # 2074558
    print(runs_per_second(lambda:1-2))
    # 2048523
    print(runs_per_second(lambda:1/2))
    # 2075186
    print(runs_per_second(lambda:1*2))
    # 2101722
    print(runs_per_second(lambda:1**2))
    # 2104572
```

Example usage for timing iteration speed of generators:
  
``` 
    def counter():
        c = 0
        while 1:
            yield c
            c+=1

    print(runs_per_second(counter()))
    # 1697328
    print(runs_per_second((i for i in range(2000))))
    # 1591301
```

            # so I set the second argument to something that isnt what output was.
            generator = iter(generator, (1 if output is None else None))
            del output
    c=0  # run counter, keep this one short for performance reasons

    return int(c/(seconds if entire_test_time_used else duration))
