Time how long, on average, it takes to call time.time(), using only time.time() to measure.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from time import time
# If we iterate a million times,
# then results per-call are in micro seconds.
ITERS = 1_000_000
UNIT = "µs"
# If our first loop below ONLY measures calls to time(),
# then the second loop below (which is to measure loop overhead)
