I’d like to run some benchmarks with P different parameters in paraview and Python scripting (which I almost never use) seems like a good option.<o:p></o:p></p>

Is it possible, to run an animation over N time steps and record the render time for each of the N frames and save that time to a CSV like file?<o:p></o:p></p>

I usually use the timer log to get the last N still renders after running an animation and save that, but from Python, perhaps there is a nice way of scripting this?<o:p></o:p></p>
