 * measures round trip cycles on a push or pull path
 * 
 * =d
 *
 * Measures the number of CPU cycles it takes for a push or pull to come back
 * to the element. This is a good indication of how much CPU is spent on the
 * Click path after or before this element.
 *
 * =h packets read-only
 * Returns the number of packets that have passed.
 *
 * =h cycles read-only
 * Returns the accumulated round-trip cycles for all passing packets.
 *
 * =h reset_counts write-only
 * Resets C<packets> and C<cycles> counters to zero when written.
