    Actually, I think distance and time are equally used, perhaps only in English speaking countries (eg UK) and not English-derived languages (like Americanese). I would say that "time" is generally used when describing development, and distance when refering to effort. So "Linux is years ahead of Windows" and "Team X is miles ahead of Team Y at cracking that code".

    Basically what I'm trying to say is, you tried to be smart but you failed.
