Chain Waxing Followup

I just rewaxed (with pure paraffin) my chain and post the following
observations:
1) I got about 900 (898 to be exact) miles between waxings this time
(I didn't keep detailed notes of my prior waxing frequency, but
guessed I got upwards of 700 miles between waxings.)
2) All miles were ridden on pavement and none in the rain.
3) During the last couple hundred miles or so I would get some
occasional squeaking during the last half of longer rides (40+ miles),
but would not hear any squeaking on rides that were shorter. I don't
know why.

PS: I am uninterested in hearing about why hot waxing a chain doesn't
"work." I'm simply posting this as an FYI.
If you have the capability to measure chain wear easily, adding that
data would be very helpful.
