Incidentally, if you download beta.7 (available in the next 24 hours), you will
find that on NT it prints a summary of actual kernel+user time after each render.

I added this to allow for more accurate benchmarking, regardless of what other
processes are running on the machine (in the process of which I discovered that,
for some reason, NT doesn't seem to include time spent updating graphics or the
UI in either time count, which to an extent suits me, though I wasn't expecting
it).
