//*********************************************************************
//+ Evaluate the performance of THnSparse vs THnF (or Float_t arrays)
//  for different numbers of dimensions and bins per dimension.
// 
//  The script calculates the bandwidth for filling and retrieving
//  bin contents (in million entries per second) for these two
//  histogramming techniques, where "seconds" is CPU and real time.
//
//  The first line of the plots contains the bandwidth based on the 
//  CPU time (THnSpase, THnF/Float_t*, ratio), the second line shows
//  the plots for real time, and the third line shows the fraction of
//  filled bins and memory used by THnSparse vs. THnF/Float_t.
// 
//  The timing depends on the distribution and the amount of entries
//  in the histograms; here, a Gaussian distribution (center is
//  contained in the histograms) is used to fill each histogram with
//  1000 entries. The filling and reading is repeated until enough
//  statistics have been collected.
// 
//  tutorials/tree/drawsparse.C shows an example for visualizing a
//  THnSparse. It creates a TTree which is then drawn using
//  TParallelCoord.
// 
//  This macro should be run in compiled mode due to the many nested
//  loops that force CINT to disable its optimization. If run
//  interpreted one would not benchmark THnSparse but CINT.
// 
//  Run as
//    .L $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/sparsehist.C+
