Something like:

--------------[ Average of 1 stat files ]--------------
ElapsedTime 0.46 (0.46 seconds)
SourceFiles 24.0
SourceFileSize 121093.0 (118 KB)
MirrorFiles 1.0
MirrorFileSize 0.0 (0 bytes)
NewFiles 23.0

IncrementFiles 0.0

TotalDestinationSizeChange 121093.0 (118 KB)

------------------------------------------------------

(and then some more about specific files)

It should be pretty quick....
