Cycles CPU / GPU info while rendering
I usually render with CPU + GPU and sometimes i doubt if the render is being done on the CPU or in both. It would be nice to have that information on the rendering screen while rendering. At the top, where time, memory usage etc it's listed.
Counting threads it's not very useful when you have more than a handful, and windows sometimes takes memory resources that make Cycles not launch GPU render even if the scene is less than the total memory of the card.

Actually it should only show when a user has enabled CPU + GPU rendering. If there is only CPU or GPU enabled, probably there should not be a need for this.
Here is an option, with the information on the bottom side when you press right click, more hidden and clean. I think i prefer this one. {attachment Suzzane_Bottom_Mockuppng}
Here is a couple of ideas. One more visual, in the up side. Or the another, more hidden, when you press right click to get the image info. {attachment Suzanne_CPU_GPU_MOCKUPPNG}
It would be useful if you mocked-up an example of what you think should appear as the render status.
