perfmon plugin: 2-way parallel stat collection
As a FUD reduction measure, this patch implements 2-way parallel counter collection. Synthetic stat component counter pairs run at the same time. Running two counters (of any kind) at the same time naturally reduces the aggregate time required by an approximate factor-of-2, depending on whether an even or odd number of stats have been requested. I don't completely buy the argument that computing synthetic stats such as instructions-per-clock will be inaccurate if component counter values are collected sequentially. Given uniform traffic pattern, it must make no difference. As the collection interval increases, the difference between serial and parallel component counter collection will approach zero, see also the Central Limit theorem.
