Logging RT with slide duration set at 1ms

[ben robinson]

if you simply type
Debug.Print Display.RefreshDurationStats.Mean
or
MsgBox Display.RefreshDurationStats.Mean
you'll soon find out just how quickly your monitor is able to refresh
itself.

liwenna, off the top of my head i can't be sure *why* i'd do this, but i
know that i have done it.  i suspect that i would do it in situations where
most of my task exists in an inline, but i get lazy and like to use a
built-in eprime object to handle participant responses.  something like
that.
