How busy is the Steem blockchain?

Just for fun, here are some numbers that I collected during the last 4 or 5 hours (assuming no programming errors):

Operation	Average Ops/Min	Max Ops/Min
Comment	8	120
Transfer	6	2600
Vote	160	14,080
All operations	243	14,120

Two facts that emerge quickly are that something like ²/₃ of all operations were vote operations and that the average number of vote operations per comment operation was around 20 ("comment" includes posts and replies).

Note that (for now) the "per minute" number is obtained by multiplying a single block's operation count by 20. It's not a continuous calculation over a full minute.

More about the program that gathered these stats in next week's Programming Diary, I expect...
