Yeah, well, I don't care that much, it's just nice to know roughly what's
slowing things down. :) Anyway, preview is useful, I don't have to wait for a
complete render to see if something worked or not. Displaying the vista
buffer's useful too, sometimes you can see something's wrong even before the
rendering gets to the bit you're interested in...
