Wish: Scene Translation Time recording

[Bruce Allen]

Official wishlist request:

Please add %translationtime to the Frame Stamp variables.

EG this starts a stopwatch the moment we hit Render in Maya and the V-Ray plugin begins working with Maya to translate the scene... and stops the timer once the scene is translated and V-Ray rendering begins.

I think it would help render optimization a lot, since scene translation times can take up to 1/3rd of total render time for us. Then we can send you guys the scenes that take a long time to translate. Also, V-Ray is getting better at translating scenes fast, so you guys could also gauge your progress and be happy

Or you could add translation time to the VFB History, so we have two timer values printed:
1. scene translation time
2. render time

Totally second this! Thanks for requesting this Bruce. Faster scene translation would be awesome.
