Part of the problem is that the measure of job

accurate one.
Agree. Adding job queue lag to Special:Statistics would benefit both
users and sysadmins.
I've been toying with some additions to the job queue so that we have
some semblance about what is going on. Time stamp, actual stats of
progress and if we want to get extra fancy, better view of what the job
workers are doing.
Just simple things to help humans analyze what is going. And if were
lucky .. maybe tell us why.
Now that I'm back, I'm hoping to have something ready for Brion and
everyone to look at soon.
