How many frames are shown on screen from time and place a to time and 
place b. Where from a to b is deterministic and 'normal' use case of pp.

Since OpenGL tries to show as many frames as possible between a and b the 
result should be some way ok?

No, it isn't "fps". I let UpdateManager to render as many frames as 
possible between two scenes.

Yes, we are already a lot ahead from the starting point where
we did know nothing about what's eating all the cpu powers.
