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, max elapsed) may be 
sufficiently interesting
