How often do you tweak monsters?

I did tweak some monsters back in the "old days" with the offline monster builder. but it was no fun. I usually tweaked standard monsters to minions, because Dark Sun has not that much monsters and few minions at some levels. That's one main feature I'd love to see in the MB: Minionize monsters. Just change the type and done. That way WotC wouldn't have to design any minions at all.

Apart from that I have made some slight changes to monsters fighting on a map with special terrain, like obsidian facades. I gave at least one of them a push or slide power to be able to shove the PCs into the special terrain. But everything else it too much work for me. Don't have time left, which is sad, because you really need good monsters to have really tactically challenging combat in 4e.

Btw I'd love to have a "monster market" for exchange of custom monsters. I bet there will be tons of really cool monsters out there for the different tools available, like the old builder or power2ool. That could save a lot of work.
