Speed Test Results

The C calculations are how long it took to get a rendered result from the C modules with just a basic, single layer 'Simple Bands' type fractal.

The Python render time is how long it took to then display those results in the rendered Python GUI that is used to develop palettes and find interesting parts of the fractal.
