I'll add a "execution time" output to the regression test engine,
so that, in addition to compiler error messages, the total time
spent compiling is shown in the full regression logs.

Anyone in favor of having a separate HTML page with execution
times?

All times are only meaningful when compared to executions on the
same platform (due to different underlying hardware), so Windows
vs. Linux comparisons don't make much sense.
