Percent of timeout used between moves
Average =(total timeout - timeout remaining)/(total timeout)
Example
Average = (7-3.5)/7 = 50%
Average = (3-1.5)/3 = 50%
On average, Player X uses 50% percent of his timeout before moving
Many times 80% is a faster mover, sometimes they are not. You are still comparing apples and oranges.

Your right, but that was the only mathmatical equation I could figure out that would somewhat work.

On average I play 8 day game, and take 6 to move.
Still, we have a number that says nothing about a 3 day game or 14.
It's tough to figure out a number that means anything for anyone to let them expect moves in their specific game with any given user.
The 64% guy plays all 14 day games... 80 plays all 1 and 3 day games.

Its also complicated by time zones.
I play someone in the UK, that player is more likely to be on when I play. Therefore I see that player moves and therefore I may move 2 or 3 times a night.
I play someone from the American continent. I move he's at work, so 7 hours later he moves. I'm in the land of nod and go off to work, so its 17 hours before I move. This could equate to move a day.
I really dont think any equation will tell you anything. Besides I also tend to play more moves in games which are further into the game. For a bit of continuity and so i dont have to rethink why did I make that move.
