Hi, I usually focus on the number of calls with "no gap", compared to the total number of calls.
To this end our rrrLog-tool presents a percentage for a gap less than 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 seconds. http://www.rrr.se/tmp/rrrLogThread.html You have to decide what "no gap" means. My experience tell me to look at the "less than 0.01 seconds" column. To get the exact number of times the server has queued calls, Server Statistics would be the way to go.
