That's a rather long caesura.  I remember once being in a theatre
performance with that kind of caesura.  Could have been Hamlet or
something, and the various ingenuities of the director took so much time
that he felt it appropriate to cut out a lot of that pesky Shakespeare
text to compensate.

That spread out the entertainment value to a degree where I considered
my time better invested leaving in the intermission.

Spreading the payload thin does not work for me.

Now I've spread the payload of this reply rather thin.  A long caesura.
