Well, by having 6 clients running on a two processor machine you're 
actually blurring the server statistics completely irrelevant.

What you're actually doing is draining the server queue empty "all the 
time" - while the tiles are lingering on your local queue until they are 
locally processed (well, obviously not on your own queue but on all of 
the queues of all the T at H clients).

But that's not my real point.

What I'm asking for is the tile processing time from requesting a tile 
until it's up rendered completely on the server - as that's the time the 
user is actually interested in.
