What this data does not account for is two fold: multiple purchases on one 4473 (and one NICS check) or the transfers that don’t require a NICS check. A seller is allowed to put up to 4 firearms on a single 4473. Also, in my home state, if a purchaser is in possession of a valid CPL (Concealed Pistol License), a NICS check is not required. The ratio of CPL transfers to NICS check transfers at my store is about 4:1.

I think the multiple sales and no NICS required transfers will out number the delay and denied responses.
