Ah, so you don't mean the actual PPS display, but the part added to the
render status display during slow renders.  

This is always displayed in PPS, but i don't find that information very
useful anyway because it arbitrarily chooses a line to average the speed. 
If you have a scene with a slow vertical structure this is fairly
worthless information.  I personally would prefer a display of the time
needed for the last pixel (of course only calculated for slow renders)
