As I wrote in a
[[http://mid.gmane.org/80tyjdl89g.fsf%40mundaneum.com][previous thread]],

   "I would privilege coherency of sums above small delay in table appearance.
    You know, when we look at tables for chasing time, we really need
    trustable figures.

    In fact, I don't really understand your argument: if I want quick reports,
    I would just choose for the unfiltered view. If I need detailed sums of
    clocked times, I would go for the "filtrable" view (by C-u R) and would
    accept a little delay.

    If you really don't share this vision, could you at least make this
    customizable? TIA."

I'll try to provide us with such a patch.

Now, regarding the contents of the table itself, I have a small question:
*how* can we configure the report in order *to stop showing lines* (= files)
that have *zero time*?

For example, this is what I have:

| File                 | Headline                             | Time   |      |

with, in this case, the info I'm looking at way below the screen...
