Non-beneficial mutations, if the individual carrying them manages to mate, are cast out of the population within, at most, 80 generations.... read the paper, it's FREE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC33757/
Non-beneficial mutation can stay for 1000s of generations, because natural selection cannot predict that it will be non-beneficial, harmful or beneficial
Don't you get the point?
1. - Harmful non-beneficial - which are removed from the gene pool in very few generations.
2. - non-harmful non-beneficial - which, indeed, can remain for thousands of generations.
I get the feeling I'm talking about one of these groups (1.) and you're talking about the other (2.).... while attributing some effects from (1.) to your (2.) individuals...
Now, if you please, use an adequate nomenclature, so we end up talking about the same thing.
