Visualizing time gain/loss on the map view

When comparing two approaches to a corner (eg: a wide smooth arc versus a superbike 'point-and-shoot' line), the point-and-shoot line often has a lower speed at the slowest point of the corner, but can sometimes result in a better overall time through the corner or the following straight.

I really like the idea of using the map view for this type of analysis at a glance, but there's currently no direct presentation of 'time gained/lost' available on the map view. The 'speed delta' high/low markers aren't a great choice for this type of analysis since the faster point-and-shoot approach might have considerably lower mid-corner speeds, but a better overall time. Or conversely, the point-and-shoot approach might have considerably higher speeds on the following straight, but not enough to overcome the time wasted at a much lower speed in the corner.

I'm not sure if it's feasible, but a 'time gained' channel for the 'high/low markers' and a 'time gain' channel for the 'driving line color' would be awesome. The driving line would go green/red when you're gaining/losing time, and the high/low marker would calculate the total amount of time that you gained/lost. eg: you gained .2 seconds on corner entry by braking harder and deeper, lost .1 second because of a lower mid-corner speed, but gained .3 seconds by having a better exit out onto the following straight.

This can be done manually by subtracting the 'Time delta' between points in the graph view (eg: when the 'Time delta' line starts going up or down, or when the 'Time gain' line crosses the zero mark), but it would be really nice to visualize this information on the map view if possible.
