I found that expose time reported by timetext kinda inaccurate.  I think
you get a better idea of what's going on if you print and sort all the
gathered expose times, and at least weed out the outliers (context
switches, etc).  Also, I would go by the microseconds value reported
instead of the double one, but it may not matter.
