System and method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage device having a computer-readable program code stored therein, said computer-readable program code containing instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer system implement a method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user, said method comprising:

• monitoring a computer system to identify said system lag;
• in response to having identified said system lag, determining an estimated length of said system lag, said estimated length being a measurement of time;
• sending a fact to said end user during said system lag, said fact having a length equal to or less than said estimated length;
• and
• storing the actual length of said system lag in order to improve subsequent determinations of said estimated length.

A computing system comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising a software application, said software application comprising instructions that when executed by said processor, implement a method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user, said method comprising:

• monitoring a computer system to identify said system lag;
• in response to having identified said system lag, determining an estimated length of said system lag, said estimated length being a measurement of time;
• sending a fact to said end user during said system lag, said fact having a length equal to or less than said estimated length;
• and
• storing the actual length of said system lag in order to improve subsequent determinations of said estimated length.

A process for supporting computer infrastructure, said process comprising providing at least one support service for at least one of creating, integrating, hosting, maintaining, and deploying computer-readable code in a computing system, wherein said code in combination with the computing system is capable of implementing a method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user, said method comprising:

• monitoring a computer system to identify said system lag;
• in response to having identified said system lag, determining an estimated length of said system lag, said estimated length being a measurement of time;
• sending a fact to said end user during said system lag, said fact having a length equal to or less than said estimated length;
• and
• storing the actual length of said system lag in order to improve subsequent determinations of said estimated length.
