I guess we could estimate it by looking at the ratio of empty blocks to non-empty blocks produced by F2Pool.

If someone wants to tabulate that data, I'll update my post.  

If you by empty you mean coinbase-only, then in the last 27,027 blocks (basically since jan 1st 2015), f2pool-attributed blocks: 5241, of which coinbase-only: 139
For antpool, this is 4506 / 246.  Not sure if that's all the info you'd need, though.

Awesome!  Thanks!!

We can estimate the average effective time it takes to process the blocks, then, as

    τ ~= T (Nempty / Nnotempty)
      ~= T (Nempty / (Ntotal - Nempty))

F2Pool:

      ~= (10 min) x [139 / (5241 - 139)] = 16.3 seconds

AntPool:

      ~= (10 min) x [246 / (4506 - 246)] = 34.6 seconds
