	If you're able to sample this at regular intervals, and the
	numbers are resettable (to avoid easy rollover), then
	you could extract some meaningfull comparative graphs
	from this data and copilot...

	Hmmn: perhaps number and time taken, so as to be able
	to provide an average time-cost in a given sampling period.
	(Much as Jeremy seem to be asking).
