Not sure what your point is:
Last run: Mon Nov 27 2006 15:00:45 UTC
This run: Mon Nov 27 2006 19:56:44 UTC

Your commit was probably between Mon Nov 27 2006 19:56:44 UTC and
Mon, 27 Nov 2006 23:28:18 GMT when the script finished and the mail
was sent.  Feel free to donate hardware so it doesn't take 5 hours to
run :-)
