uiToolkit and some GUI benchmarking

[Michael Peuser]

I got a request for figures with Psyco, so I installed it (which I had not
found time for during the last weeks...).

It turned out to inmstalled idiotically simple!
I extend the  benchmarks with Psyco results below....

Addition: value in brackets WITH Psyco:

0.8 (0.5) sec  a simple WCK widget
0.9 (0.6) sec  Tkinter.Message (a widget which is somewhat underestimated!)
4.3 (4.4) sec  Tkinter.Text
5.8 (5.8) sec  Tkinter.ListBox
