But not much to do about ... the ratio will actually change depending on the
functions used.  The more complex the more POVFPU_RunDefault will consume,
while the other two will sooner or later be irrelevant.  One should really
not measure these with trivial functions which only contains something
simple like sin or cos, but more complex functions using some operations...
