Hm, we'd better call that 'inconclusive'.
The time spent in Sprite::getW increased to 11%, but the total run time 
seems to have decreased by 3 seconds.
That so much time is spent there is probably a cache thing - getW is the 
first thing done to a sprite image when we're about to draw it, so that 
is the point where the image is loaded into the cache.
I assume your platform is quite different from mine, since your numbers 
are so different; or perhaps we are talking about a high-resolution 
screen as well? (showing more squares at a time) :-)
