 * Contributors:
 *     Mathew A. Nelson
 *     - Initial API and implementation
 *     Flemming N. Larsen
 *     - Updated to use methods from WindowUtil and Logger, which replaces
 *       methods that have been (re)moved from the robocode.util.Utils class
 *     - Added calculateCpuConstant() used for (re)calculating the CPU constant
 *     - Added setCpuConstant() for calculating and setting the CPU constant
 *     - Limited the CPU constant to be >= millis granularity in order to prevent
 *       robots from skipping turns as the granularity might be coarse
 *     - Changed CPU constant to be measured in nanoseconds instead of
 *       milliseconds
 *     Robert D. Maupin
 *     - The "heavy math" algorithm for calculation the CPU constant
 *     Pavel Savara
 *     - Cheating the optimizer with the setCpuConstant() so the optimizer does
 *       not throw the rational computation away
