Well, I posted an image of the status bar. I am not doing anything wrong. I
am rendering a scene, the middle part of which takes much longer to trace
than the upper and lower part of the scene. Because the average time for the
scene as a whole can still be represented in PPS, the last line must also be
calculated in PPS, even though the last ten lines or so are taking much
longer to trace than the entire scene up to that point, because I have hit a
slow tracing glass object in the middle of the scene. The point is that the
last line units should be separate from the average units for the entire
scene.

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)
