\begin{funcdesc}{settscdump}{on_flag}
Activate dumping of VM measurements using the Pentium timestamp
counter, if \var{on_flag} is true. Deactivate these dumps if
\var{on_flag} is off. The function is available only if Python
was compiled with \code{--with-tsc}. To understand the output
of this dump, read \code{Python/ceval.c}.

-----
- Profiling the VM using the Pentium TSC is now possible if Python
is configured --with-tsc.
- In order to find libraries, setup.py now also looks in /lib64, for use
on AMD64.

Many opcodes call out to helper C functions. In some cases, the
time in those functions should be counted towards the time for the
opcode, but not in all cases. For example, a CALL_FUNCTION opcode
calls another Python function; there's no point in charge all the
bytecode executed by the called function to the caller.
It's hard to make a useful judgement statically. In the presence
of operator overloading, it's impossible to tell if a call will
execute new Python code or not.
It's a case-by-case judgement. I'll use intr1 for the following
cases:
EXEC_STMT
IMPORT_STAR
IMPORT_FROM
CALL_FUNCTION (and friends)
