Not profiling 'Delay>>wait'

Hello.. As is probably apparent from my work recently, I've been using
profiling to examine how and where things are working, and I've hit one
annoyance.

'Delay>>wait'

Because the system seems to spend a large fraction of its time here,
waiting for new input and such. As this does tend to occur almost
everywhere in the system, I was wondering if it were possible to get
MessageTally to not count any time spent in a particular set of enumerated
methods. For example, Delay>>wait and/or other blocking methods.

I've tried altering the class some, but it seems fragile and liable to
bring up emergency evaluators upon the slightest change, or even the
introduction of 'self halt' so I can find out whats going on.

Any suggestions?

Scott
