yes, its a cute idea, till you switch away from that screen to check progress
on something else, like to compose this message.

The over 2000fps reports were while I was either looking at htop, or starting
this message, both on different screens. htop said it was using 95+ % of the
cpu even when its display was going to /dev/null. So 'Kewl' doesn't seem to
get us apples to apples numbers we can go to the window and bet
win-place-show based on them alone.
FWIW, running the nvidia-9755 drivers here.
So if we are going to use that as a judgement operator, it obviously needs
some intelligently applied scaling before they are worth more than a
subjective feel is.
