Thank you Jaime - looks good. I seem to have been asleep at the wheel
and missed *both* of your emails until now, belated apologies for that
- especially the first one :-(

With respect to the sum of wait times being not very granular, yes -
quite true. I was thinking it is useful to be able to answer the
question 'where is my wait time being spent' - but it hides cases like
the one you mention. What would you like to see? would max and min wait
times be a useful addition, or are you thinking along different lines?

Cheers
