I've taken Bob's idea of doing a MessageTally on an automated FreeCell game
and moved it around a bit so that it didn't preclude playing FreeCell.
Attached is a change set that adds openAsBenchmark as a FreeCell class
method. This change set does not affect playing FreeCell at all.

On my old, senile, memory starved 200Mhz NT box i got the following numbers:

Squeak 2.7-1782   11407 msec.
Squeak 2.9a-2773  23023 msec.

make it go faster please! :)
