Best way to do this IMHO is to profile the user.  In other words, get a
'real' user to use the app and profile the usage.

As i'm sure you know, it's all about the time where the client does nothing,
profiling a user going through a typical case will give you this 'average'
figure.

I like using a percentage of the target user base for throughput testing,
but never for 'real' usage testing.  It all depends on what type of app for
sure.
