I'm also thinking of taking a look at amalgamating transaction type lock 
waits. This seems like a good idea because:
- individually, and viewed at a later date, I don't think they 
individual detail is going to be useful- there will be a lot of them- I think the statistical data (count, sum elapsed,
maxelapsed) may be 
 
sufficiently interesting
