To try and quantify time lost is difficult but I suspect more time was lost in 1956 than 2005.
Trent Bridge: around half of day 1 and all of day 2 Lords: Some time lost but I can't figure out how much Leeds: At least one full day lost Old Trafford: Only 6 runs were scored on day 3 Oval: A full day lost
It's virtually impossible to quantify shorter stoppages given the data sources I have but there must have been some.
It seems reasonable to suppose that more time was lost to rain in an era when wickets were not covered.
