It computes this integral at a single time step, although if you want to 
time-average you can certainly do that yourself.

However, if you use complex fields (set! force-complex-fields? true), and have 
a single-frequency (CW) field, then |E|^2 is proportional to the time average 
and hence V evaluated at a single timestep is equal to the time average.
