that much over ten minutes.
It doesn't? So users don't edit all that much, and our job queue
runner sits there for massive idle periods on the large wikis?
I call bull shit.
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.
