This started with the motivation of making timer ".count" keys persist like counters, and also it seems like they're intended to honor the sampling so they should do that too. But the next annoying bit is how postfix needs to be removed and re-added for timers, so maybe postfix should be added last ... but then receive-counter should probably keep its current behavior of not getting the prefix/postfix ... and then when trying to add code concisely it becomes apparent that much of
packetHandler()can just be removed ...It's best to look at each commit individually for a good explanation. I would also be willing to break out some separate pull-requests (and then this one would depend on most of those going in first).
According to our benchmarks, handling timers got a bit slower, because now it adds to two maps instead of one. Some other stuff got a bit better.EDIT: refactored, and updated benchmark results.
