There is still something wrong with your measurement.  First of all, are you
running on Mac OS Xor Mac OS 9?  You should really do benchmarking on Mac oS
9.  Anyway, that said, you also can only benchmark if you actually run for
more than a few seconds.  Something like 10 minutes or so.  Right now you
are measuring everything, but not render speed...
