sPHENIX discussion of software

Hi folks,

at the last software meeting we talked briefly that having a timer for 
the modules would be useful. I added this to Fun4All - for every module 
a timer is created during registration and its time for process_event is 
recorded. You can print out the stats at any time by

Fun4AllServer *se = Fun4AllServer::instance();
se->PrintTimer();

or for a single module by e.g.

se->PrintTimer("SILICON_TRACKER_TOP");

The name is a combination of the module name and the topnode it is 
working on. If you give a non existing name it'll print the names of the 
existing timers. We do have sometimes duplicate names of modules (cut 
and pasting I guess), the processing times for those will be aggregated 
- which might actually be useful.
