A new block rendered is like candy? Oh, not quite. If you're doing some really heavy IBL, raytracing (set for quite a few Raytrace bounces), or volumetric lighting, one new block is like a fillet mignon! :D

Random thought for the edit... Remember the days of old Poser, with the sidestepping figure with the progress bar? Memories!
