Agreed.

I think this would work quite nicely. I would just change the "freq x 
duration" definition to "cumulative duration".

It would mean adding the 5th (or 6th) field from ReqEnd to the counter 
instead of 1. The hard part is probably (guessing here, have yet to look 
at v-top source) getting the ReqEnd values to add to the individual 
counters.

Throw it on the shopping list, I'd say.
