very good point, walter. i think we could find some cool ways to leverage
this intelligence for our users after serving up the flattened version
based on the simple range that they're expecting to see. the clarity is
helpful in getting some creative ideas moving, so thanks.

Percentiles are far more useful than that linear approximation. That is just
slope and intercept, basically two numbers.
With percentiles, I can answer the question “how fast is the search for 95% of
my visitors?” With that linear interpolation, I don’t know anything about my
customers.

gotcha. yup, that was the back up plan so i think i'll go that route for
now.
thanks for the info!

mm, i was afraid something like that might be the case.
if the range is 0 to 100 then, for my current purposes, i don't care if the
vast majority of the values are 92, i would want 25%=>25, 50%=>50, and
75%=>75. so is there an out-of-the-box way to get the percentiles to
correspond to the range it

102 values, but only 6 distinct (aka unique): 3900, 3998, 4098, 4200, 4305 and
4413.

That is not a sign of an error
