  """Runs This file runs extension performance tests.  This file It runs Ts (startup time) and Tp (page load time) tests for an extension with different profiles. Before this file is written, there were many problems with configuring the framework. Users were thrown with errors that took a long time to debug and solve. This file faciliates a user in configuring a framework with minimal frustration and time. It tries to eliminate as many user errors as possible, errors that users are prone to making while configuring the framework. Informative messages are shown to the user whenever they make an accidental error while configuring the framework. Comments: At first the program wouldn't exit on sys.exit() Rob Campbell suggested that I look into Ben Smedberg's killableprocess.py. It doesn't work with this because it's using Python 2.3 Haven't figured out how to work around the exceptions about ctypes library when I try to use killableprocess.py
