While you're thinking about it, let me mention a statistic I've been
keeping for about six months with my modified mnemosyne. It's "number
of cards with intervals < 30 days" (not the same as "cumulative number
of cards due in next 30 days"). I use this stat to gauge workload. For
that it works like "cards per day" but is more stable. This number
approaching 1000 almost kills me, while <300 might be unnecessarily
easy.
