Is a "Cycle" (or something similar) quantity reasonable?

In my application I need a quantity for CPU ticks. That seemed too specific to me, so I thought something like "cycles" might be more generally useful to represent the concept.

Before I put a PR together I figured I'd ask whether that is reasonable, or if there is a suggested alternative.

Thanks!

What underlying Si units are you looking to use? Frequency (s⁻¹) already has a number of hertz and cycle_per_* units.

I agree that it doesn't necessarily fit within the SI units. Frequency is not appropriate because that implies a "per unit time." I think I would be better off creating my own system for this project. Thanks!
