Count the number of packets dropped.
That is close to the number of times the system was waiting.
Keep in mind this is a commercial operating system - it **does not** do any busy waits for the reply.
In fact, if it has nothing to do - it powers down the cpu to a low power state.
translation: Nothing that you can measure that is any different than just having the wifi or 3G enabled.
