While that may be true, I'm curious whether it's known why the load times vary across three orders of magnitude?

Thanks,
Peter

We have a fix nearly in place and we should back-create as much of the data as we can so the graphs should hopefully reappear shortly.

I am curious whether or not anyone actually finds this metric useful, and if so how?  In the past we've talked about removing it from RSSAC002 data requirements in the a future version of the specification unless there is a demonstrated need for it (my/our personal opinion, not necessarily the opinion of the other operators).  We do intend to support it while it's in the specification though.
