The log was collected with +queue_time +queue_time_overall +delivery_time.
Currently, you chart as "Time spent on the queue" the difference between
the first (<=) and final (Completed) log entries for the message: 1m5s.
Exim's queue_time_overall logs on the Completed entry the total time
spent in receipt and the queue, as QT=1m46s. So the Receipt time for
the message is 1m46s-1m5s=41s. I'd like that time charted for all
messages in a duration-bucket table (count, %, cumul. %)/pie chart, just
like "Time spent on the queue" is currently. Splitting it up by remote
protocol (P=* on the <= log entry) seems like it might be a good idea,
too, just as the "Time spent on the queue" chart is currently split
between all messages and messages with at least one remote delivery.
Does that make sense?
Doing the same for the DT times logged by +delivery_time seems like a
good idea, as well (no calculation required here -- just chart 59s and
1m5s for the two deliveries respectively. These would be charted as
"all deliveries" and "remote deliveries only".

Yes, a time bucket histogram with .'s and line graph, just like messages
received per hour and deliveries per hour.
