Designer Send Payload Performance

a - summary

- Each Storyboard render action sends 3 differents messages from VS to XMA on the Mac

- Each message received on the Mac, logs 4 different time measures (Getting Designer Server connection, Deserializing designer command, Forwarding designer command, Forwarding designer response)

- The time measure that takes the most time is "Forwarding designer command". The line of code of that action is:
    
    //Connection is an instance of MonoTouch.Design.Client.ServerProcessConnection
    connection.SendRequest (request, throwIfNotRunning), out sendRequestMillisecs);
    
- When there is no csproxy process, that action takes a lot of time for the first message of three: ~ 55 secs, ~ 32 secs, ~40 secs for the three renders

- The other actions has been removed from the details, to make it cleaner, since they don't take significant time to execute

b - withoutcsproxy
