What's the actual "cook" time of a (complex) panel?

I’m trying to figure out the CPU and GPU cost of my control panels. MMB and info CHOP seem to only report the CPU cooktime of animated panels. But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t list the CPU cost of managing (and layouting) all the sub panels/layers. And using e.g. scrollbars doesn’t influence reported cook times, even though it must have some impact.

And on the GPU side it only seems to report the GPU time of nested TOPS, but not the time needed for actually compositing all the panels

So how can I figure out the complete CPU and GPU cooktime of a (complex) panel?
