Interesting.  Well, it's good to know that you are not getting noise
from that missing data point.  Do the relative timings change a lot if
you use a bigger/smaller button?

Have you timed other widgets?  One thing I want to be able to do with
GtkWidgetProfiler is to benchmark a whole window full of typical stuff:
menu bar, toolbar, content area, scrollbars, status bar, etc.  If
buttons are 100x faster than a tree view, then we should not waste time
profiling buttons ;)
