Add a facility which evaluates the timing of a simulation run

[Spiegel0]

Information should be provided on whether a events were issued late and how much delay occurred. The following timing performance indicators should be implemented to evaluate the real-time performance of a simulation run:

• Minimum delay
• Maximum delay
• Mean delay
• Standard deviation or variance of delays
• Minimum, Maximum, mean delay and delay variance on removing outliers (Remove the highest and lowest n samples)
• Histogram of delay values
• Delay values over time
• Average/Min/Max/... prediction time
• Average/Min/Max/... network distribution time

To calculate the delay value of each event, multiple points in time may be used for reference. E.g.. a delay may be calculated by comparing the nominal time with the time, the network distribution starts or the time the network distribution ends. The following delays may be considered:

• Delay until the prediction of the event has been completed
• Delay until the external event is registered
• Delay until the network distribution of the events starts
• Delay until the network distribution of an event ends
