And here I go, doing my part!

Peter points out that "Unusually long or short times are both a
legitimate cause for further investigation".  I agree.  So let's ask
Brian not to bother us unless the times are unusually long or short.

Brian, at the risk of increasing your project scope considerably...
would you consider keeping a history file somewhere?  Keep the last N
statistics for JOBNAME/USERID, then report in your email if the job time
is outside -say- one standard deviation from the mean (and the mean is
large enough to make the job interesting).
