So a pet peeve of mine are unitless graphs. Can we please annotate what 
the unit is? If we're looking at "Packages processed by architecture"[1] 
(which again, isn't a workable unit), then we see that s390x does not 
have a bad average, nor an overly bad max - given that it's with one 
worker instead of like 14 for amd64 and 10 for arm64?

The average/max for the week is double for amd64 vs. s390x, so what does 
the queue size mean? Is there still obsolete work in the queue as well 
or does every item have the same value? (There's no way right now it can 
catch up with that many items in the queue. Although that again depends 
on the unit...)

Kind regards
