Was it really a time saver or did it just feel like a time saver? In the US I found Waze unrealistically optimistic that back-roads and alternative routes would save time -- my ETA started great, but slowly worsened until I was better off riding out the traffic.

Yea, I suspect they have a significant bias as suggesting you stay in heavy traffic makes it seem like the App is useless.
