Supreme Court feels the strain as cases back up

The Supreme Court also hears a lot of non-commercial cases, which means its 12 judges (currently 11 sitting and one temp) spend a lot of time discussing human rights type cases. Surely this has an impact on the waiting time? I am not suggesting that these are of less importance than the commercial cases, just suggesting that it may be time to have two different judicial panels listening to the two different types of cases. Or would this just be madness?
