PyThreadState.tick_counter

tick_counter is incremented whenever the check_interval ticker reaches zero. The purpose is to give a useful measure of the number of interpreted bytecode instructions in a given thread. This extremely lightweight statistic collector may be of interest to profilers (like psyco.jit()), although nothing in the core uses it. Availability: < 3.4
