   IIRC, at the moment, the time to get from SFO to LHR is something like   
   11 hours.  One leaves at say 1900 one day and arrives at something   
   like 1400 the next.  (I may have things off by an hour or two, I'm   
   recollecting from a trip back in 1999)   
      
   Am I really better-off jet-lag wise if I get there in two hours?   
      
   If I still leave at 1900 SFO time, arrive at 0500 LHR time, probably   
   not having slept at all where the previous flight time had some chance   
   (well, as likely as one can on a commercial airliner today) of having   
   slept.   
      
   I suppose perhaps I'm now better-off leaving SFO at 0900 and arriving   
   at LRH at 1900, but I'm not sure yet.   
      
   Are things better going the other direction?
