The suggestion was ten minutes. Surely the job queue doesn't change 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.
