Some people never make it to a talk, spending all their time in hacklabs, or doing volunteer stuff. The availability of Live Video means that some people will continue hacking while keeping an eye on a talk by having it playing on their desktop, which might tend to synchronise their timing with the talks -- if we've got WiFi coverage where we eat, of course, people can keep watching as they eat, if they feel like it. I'm afraid I've no idea on percentages though, and it will vary from speaker to speaker (so I guess we should try to cluster minority interest talks around food time, if there's a choice).
