Loop = Time in ms for the "loop" through the process including polling
delay and processing.

Poll = Current polling delay. This is the amount of time the
persistent instance waits before looking for new jobs. The polling
delay expands along a "golden spiral" whenever the system polls for
work and finds none (a "resting" loop). The delay is reset to zero on
the first "working" loop.

*** Loop and Poll values are used by client-peer instances to
coordinate their result checking process. They estimate how long to
wait for their answer by checking to see how busy the server-peer is.

Jobs = Total messages scanned by this instance.

Secs = Total number of seconds this instance has been alive.

Msg/Min = Calculated from Jobs / Secs, adjusted to minutes.

Current-Load = Recent ratio of working / working + resting loops. At
100% the instance is seeing consecutive working loops with no resting
loops. At 0% the instance is seeing all resting loops (no work).

Average-Load = A sliding weighted average of Current-Load.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
