Jan 25, 2010 at 10:16 comment added Andrew Stacey Yes, the "backlog" is more than just the backlog. It contains a fair bit of information on times. However, it does not contain the "time to rejection" that you mention which I think would be extremely useful (especially for non-tenured mathematicians) - but that's another debate!
Jan 25, 2010 at 10:08 comment added GS Though it looks like it's possible to obtain that info from the link you posted. Thanks!
Jan 25, 2010 at 10:06 comment added GS I think for more practical purposes, the times from submission to rejection and acceptance are more useful! I'm not sure the backlog matters at all anymore (at least, not if you post your papers to the arxiv). In particular, there are some journals with notoriously large backlogs for which the time it takes to reach a decision is, in my limited experience, quite short.
