I'm measuring the runtime of my bash script which runs xte 100 times.
I've also updated the test to include GDK-based themes which outperform
both Plastik & Clearlooks. I've a few more papers about GNOME which I'll
be releasing as I go along and after that I'll focus on fixing the
issues(as far as I can, at least we have the figures now).
