I suppose that the user's actually want is simply to know if they
should wait or not, so maybe a better user interface is simply a
statement about whether they'd be significantly more anonymous if they
waited 10 minutes or so.  This might actually be a much easier question
to answer too, due to the shape of exponential distributions.
