There are actually three times to check out.  The 
display server time (in the upper right corner), 
the script runtime (on the line in the center of the screen 
generally) and then the time the actual test was 
last received from the client, or the last time the 
status was changed in the bottom.  If you aren't 
looking for it, you'll probably miss that one.

I'm willing to bet that one is older than your purple 
delay.
