I don't have a direct citation, and since I haven't seen the data behind 
the study, I'm hesitant to go too far with citations, but I've been doing 
this for a while, and it pretty-much matches with my experiences in the 
field, if it's not a little too rosy a picture.

Excellent, some real data- which seems to back up both the study I had in 
mind as well as my direct experience.  Frightening, but it should be 
required reading (and as an industry, we really need a mechanism to do 
wider-scale studies such as this.)

Thanks,

Paul
