I did say "change *that much*".
Sufficiently ambiguous for me to
weasel my way out of any evidence you can come up with. ;) But
seriously, the only thing that matters is whether the job queue is
persistently high, and if it is, that will be . . . well, persistent.
If it spikes for two minutes and then drops back (how quickly do those
job queue runners work anyway?) then who cares if that's not reflected
in the stat? Average all the ten-minute samplings over the last day
if you like.
Unless you specified that 96 seconds ago the job queue was X, 10 minute
sampling will confuse even more. After changing a tempalte used on
hundreds of pages, i'll go to see how much work i added to the job
queue, if the data is older than 30-60 seconds i may need to go there,
i'll have the dangerous think "it wasn't so much load".
