Test programs: Python program for measuring response time

while True:
	start = millis()
	data= "recv: "+ser.readline()	
	end = millis()
	print (end-start)
	print data


Time precision benchmark

Pi benchmark (adapted from http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=138802.0)

  Serial.print(sizeof(double));
