How does waves shorten the wait time?

I you have 10,000 and let 2,000 start every 15-30 minutes with some

effort to keep the faster runners in earlier wave, less congestion
smoother start. If the race is 10,000 and they go all at once and you
sitting at 8,000...get the picture? Boston went to waves this years
but
not sure how many waves and what was the interval gap.

But I would still have to wait for those 7,999 to cross the start line.
True, there won't be the congestion on the course, but I don't see how
it would help speed up getting to the starting line.

Regardless, my next major race
will use waves for the HM, not that that will affect me; I'll be
running
the full. The full and the half willl have separate start lines,
unlike
the one I ran on Sunday.

It's not clear how a separate starting line will help unless they are
far apart and don't converge for some miles.

Well, there would be only about a third of the total number starting at
the marathon start. The two courses converge at one mile and diverge at
two miles, following separate routes from then on, to their separate
finish lines.
