Multiple simultaneous instances of Timequest on the same project

When optimizing a design I constantly find myself in need of comparing timequest results after one compilation with results from another compilation. But when compiling, all old results are reset. I can of course save the results in a file, but viewing this is not efficient. 

 

It would be simpler to compare results if one could have multiple versions of Timequest running. One with the newest data and one using an old netlist, so effectively one could have two (or more) timing cases on screen and compare simultaneously. Is that possible and if not, how is this comparison between compilations then best done?

I copy the Quartus project with /db and then launch it separately. (When I have a version I want to keep, I make a copy and use that to start my new compile.) Being able to look at multiple results at the same time is very valuable.
