I don't believe there is any average for AOS - nothing anywhere near reliable anyway. For EAD, you can usually count on approx 3 months.

I've heard of any time frame from three months to a matter of years. You're right that it depends on circumstances, but it also depends on your geographic location, how efficient or busy the office is who are dealing with your case, whether they need RFEs (which isn't really a glitch - it happens to many applicants and doesn't slow things down much at all) and whether your FBI namecheck goes through in a timely manner. As long as you have your EAD and your AP, you can live very comfortably while you wait for the Green Card.
