Updated: Added duration times for 4 and 2 workers.

Recap for the time taken for the Mandelbrot examples. Testing was done on a MBP (Haswell Core i7 quad-core at 2.6 GHz with HT) running Perl v5.16.2.

Serial code:     21.327 secs (HoH)
MCE gather:       5.795 secs (HoH)  Sadly, MCE::Shared is not able to reach this
thread::shared:  19.157 secs (AoA)  Locking is not necessary for this demonstration
thread::shared:   9.730 secs (AoA)  However, runs faster with added lock statements
MCE::Shared:      8.743 secs (AoA)  8 workers ; made possible from parallel IPC
MCE::Shared:     11.048 secs (AoA)  4 workers ; supporting processes and threads
MCE::Shared:     18.488 secs (AoA)  2 workers

MCE::Shared is not yet available on CPAN and will be released soon along with MCE 1.7.
