Reporting on time for completed tasks + prompt when completing a task for actual time-to-completion

Hi RTM management and developers,
First, thanks for developing a great tool. I'm sure it is a great productivity help to many, the world over.
That being said, I find it a bit absurd that you provide the ability to estimate the total amount of time to complete a task, but not the ability to:
1. run reports on completed tasks to see the aggregate time they took to complete
and
2. add information regarding the actual amount of time the task took, vs. the time initially presupposed. [This could fairly easily be done with a prompt for the actual time when marking a task as complete.]
It kind of defeats the purpose of even entering that information if it can't be pulled back later for reporting purposes and analysis. If these were features available in the Pro version of RTM I'd happily upgrade. In the interim, however, I think I will just stop using the time estimate feature since it's extra work for which I am unable to reap the benefits.
Thanks for considering this request. (Someone posted something similar to #1 over a year ago, but it would not let me respond to that post to add my $0.02).
