// Stopwatch object for timing GL work. We do not use the TStopwatch as //
// we need to perform GL flushing to get accurate times + we record     //
// timing overheads here.                                               //
//
// MT: Bypassed all of the overhead stuff. It does not seem reasonable
// anyway. Besides it was being initialized outside of a valid GL
// context and coused random crashes (especially on 64-bit machines with
// nvidia cards).
