That seems reasonable, if this is a regular 5 year gen we can expect a 3rd year peak. What I'm disagreeing is with the denomination "front loaded" as if it was something out of the normal, considering that all gens, except the 7th, took 5 years.
Edit: I don't recall correctly, but maybe the 2600 gen was longer too, but by different factor than today,
