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".
