I made this plugin out of curiosity, and figured maaaybe someone might want to use it.

N_Benchmark adds a benchmark option to your game, accessible from within the title screen.

Might be useful to determine how a specific plugin affects your game's performance. It might also be useful for players to determine if their PC can run Crysis or not...

• Players can not control the character during benchmark.
• Autosave is disabled during benchmark.
• Benchmark can either be timed, or scripted.
  • Timed means the benchmark will automatically end after some time (configurable).
  • Scripted means the benchmark only ends with the "Stop benchmark" plugin command.
• After the benchmark has ended, you can see the above windows detailing how well your PC can run Crysis (if at all).
  • The x-axis represents either frame time (how long it took to draw a frame) or FPS.
  • The y-axis represents how often a given frame time (or FPS) was achieved.
  • Frame time/FPS numbers are colored for convenience:
    • Green: > 60 FPS
    • Yellow: 30 FPS
    • Red: < 20 FPS
• Players can leave the benchmark at any time by pressing "Ok" or "Cancel" (by default, this is Enter or Esc on PC keyboards).
• The benchmark can also turn a switch on (if desired). You can use that to create events that only run during a benchmark.

Benchmarking best practices

• Make sure your benchmark is deterministic (meaning there is no random element) or as close to deterministic as possible. You want to benchmark your game, not your (or your players') luck.
• Make sure you benchmark the most demanding scene in your game, to have a better understanding of how well your game performs.
• If you feel like your benchmark is not presentable (too weird, ugly, or whatever), remember that you can disable benchmarks for players. The players won't even see there's a benchmark option.
