Time/Move statistic

Does anyone else see a problem with the time/move stat?  If a player only has a few games going, they are going to have a high time/move stat even if they make several moves on each game every day.  On the other hand if someone is playing a couple hundred games, their time/move may be really low even if they only play a move on any given game once a week or whatever.

This is not the time you spend looking at the game. Time/move is time your opponent has waited.

Playing few simultaneous games tends to lead to a low time/move average.

Playing many simultaneous games tends to lead to a high time/move average.

You make an excellent point, TadDude.  And http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=710&nav=0 backs you up.  I guess the problem isn't really a problem after all.

most are sitting there huffing and puffing over a search engine looking for an 'ANSWER" to reply w/;am i being to harsch ? o.k. plowing through chess books and tweeting the neighborhood pro for assistance. How many decent moves arise out of any given position.. not many. Played in a recent tourerment, the first round lasted six ,"6", months..i mean how much chess fun is in that?
