Hi, What is the display took number?
example 41.5058s after render time of 4h?

It's the time that indigo needed to display rendered image

The delay between:
"Oh, I should show the current state of the image, now... *sigh*"
and
"Oh well, here you go, if you insist on it.... :roll: "

Does anybody know if Indigo is rendering while working on showing the image?

Because if it doesn't, you should really think about your refreshing time setting.

If it refreshes every 20 seconds (which is default in Blendigo 0.9) and uses 10 seconds on refreshing, its wasting like 33,33% of the rendering time on nothing. :P

One thing is clear: It's always, sometimes significantly, faster to have a bigger update time ;)
I guess, it stops rendering. At least, it's slowed down.

Display tonemapping is computed in another thread, so it doesn't stop rendering, it will slow it down however.

So this Display message just tells us how long tonemapping, bloom etc. took to compute... no the real Display time?!
I'm asking because for the indigo_console this message appears too, in an interval of the display_period...
