Typical time for Waiting For Review?

I uploaded my first app to iTunes connect, on the 23rd it changed status to Waiting For Review. The box which shows the status of app reviews says 80-99% of apps in the last 5 days have been reviewed.

Does that include the Waiting For Review period, or only from the In Review period?

Basically how long should I wait before I wonder if it's disappeared down a black hole? I have no problem with waiting weeks, just Im unsure what the percentage says actually mean.

EDIT: I also meant to ask if the the stats Apple give in the developer centre, include the Waiting For Review period?

Well, most of the apps i submitted into the App Store were submitted within 7 days - it does not make any difference if you submit new app or just an update. The latest update i submitted took 8 days to review, so maybe it's a bit 'crowded' at the moment.
