Actually, that isn't quite what was asked.  If it takes you 30 mins for
600 bricks, versus, say, 1 min (just dumping them in) for 450 bricks,
then in purely financial terms, the extra 33% is questionable.  Consider
as a very naive measurement, what you make per hour in your job.

What if it's 10 tubs?  50? :-)
