O.K., so we all know MIPS is bad - doesn't stop requests like this one being made. I think your best option might be to disavow MIPS and MSUs altogether for an application. Report it like RMF does - as a percentage of an engine. If you don't want to do the maths yourself, just assign a report class to that application (only). The numbers will be rubbery depending on your intervals, but as Ted pointed out, the whole thing is averages of averages anyway. I'd be pretty sure that Barry would have something in MXG for you as well, if you have that.
