Clock Cycles Only Display 4 Digits

Problem:
ABox can display the estimated average CPU clock cycles per audio sample used 
by each object in a circuit. Typically the number is less than one hundred, but 
can spike in the several thousands. When a great number of objects are grouped 
together, however, the clocks per sample can be in the hundreds of thousands. 
ABox only allows room for the least significant 4 digits -- thus, the numbers 
larger than 9999 do not display correctly.

Recommend:
*Resize the drawing rectangle (possibly the format string too) to allow room 
for more digits. Alternately, since it is desirable in general to draw less 
text (spaces count as text), selectively adjust the rectangle if the number to 
be displayed is greater than a certain value. 
*Clock cycle information is collected in the PlayThread, and passed to the 
GUIThread to be rendered. The formatting and rendering of the clock cycles is 
performed during the GDIRender operation.
*As an aside: ABox was origonally developed on a 90MHz Pentium 1. Using 10 
thousand clocks per audio sample was simply not possible (in real time). Now, 
with 3+ GHz processors in common use, sustaining 70000 clocks per sample is not 
out of the question.
