Average confirmation times

You all know this chart from Blockchain.info http://bit.ly/1oPecMK. By the link name we would expect that it will show us average time transactions wait for first confirmation.

But it's actually a median time, and only considers transactions which have already confirmed, excluding transactions which may have been sitting in the mempool for hours.

/u/seweso used data from blocktrail.com to calculate the average waiting times for the last 1000 blocks: http://bit.ly/1TnOaxv

99.16% transactions which have 0.00005 BTC/Kb fees and higher have the average confirmation time of 43 minutes!
