[Feature Request] Show word count and the duration of the test in the report. #40

Now the information shown in the report is very limited, only WPM, CPM, accuracy, mistakes and attribution in -quotes. I have some text files having paragraphs exceeded thousand characters, which takes a lot of time to complete the test. I would like to know the duration that I performed the test, but I do not want to manually count the words in the previous paragraph and do the math ( word count / WPM), or start a counter when I start a test.

Just found out the WPM is CPM/5 in the source code... why?

From my reading, this is to simplify the calculation. I have seen similar code in similar programs. Primarily, the issue is that this program supports live WPM counts as you go through an exercise. Having different methods to count live and upon completion might cause a large mismatch that would make the live count misleading.
