[PD] 0.35 test series observations

[Krzysztof Czaja]

hi,

not a real profiling, just a simple measurement of a graph_getrect()
execution time.  If there is a graph in a patch, this routine is
called once for every mouse movement message from the gui.

The figures below are for a test patch with nothing but a single
100000-element (~2.5s) array in it, measured on an 866Mhz linux box
(with -rt flag):

0.35-test10: avg. 49 mili(sic)sec, peak 71ms

0.35-test4: avg. 1.9 micro(sic)sec, peak 3us

This gives ratio of 25789.  For a 100-element array this is 57us
vs 1.5us, giving the ratio of 38.

The (apparent, not measured) variance is pretty small in both cases.
I did not measured graph_getrect() in test9, because of its recursive
nature.
