If you're using a normal monitor, the bottleneck would be transferring the results of the calculation to the monitor, which commonly have a latency of 3ms or more. So when the monitor displays the calculations, the CPU has already moved on to other things :)

It takes 10-20ms for the pixels to transition on an LCD display. And on 60Hz, it's 8+/-8ms for the monitor to actually address the row with your information. Luckily, the CPU doesn't need to wait for the monitor. And the slowest part of the chain will almost always be getting it from your eyes to your hands (250ms+).
