Oops.  You're right.  I did not see that.  (That might explain
the 4-8 nanosecond I/Os, which I did think seemed pretty fast.
They are actually 4-8 microsecond).  So, you want to know how
you can spend 19 or 20 minutes in a 10 minute trace?
You have multiple cpu's, so each cpu can be working in parallel
on different I/O requests.  If you have 8 cpu's, the average time
spent by each cpu would be about 2.5 minutes.  This does sound a little
high to me, but not extreme.  If you got 80 minutes, I would be
concerned that all cpus are working on requests all the time.
It might be difficult to correlate per cpu, as I suspect the start and
done probe for a given I/O could fire on different cpus.
