Ported the IPython Sphinx directive to 0.11....
Ported the IPython Sphinx directive to 0.11. This was originally written by John Hunter for the 0.10 API, now it works with 0.11. We still need to automate its test suite, but at least now it runs and the script itself can be executed as a test that produces screen output and figures in a subdir.

"""Test the performance of the task farming system.
This script submits a set of tasks to the TaskClient. The tasks
are basically just a time.sleep(t), where t is a random number between
two limits that can be configured at the command line. To run
the script there must first be an IPython controller and engines running::
ipcluster -n 16
A good test to run with 16 engines is::
python task_profiler.py -n 128 -t 0.01 -T 1.0
This should show a speedup of 13-14x. The limitation here is that the
overhead of a single task is about 0.001-0.01 seconds.
