our queue appears to increasing linearly since about last tuesday, since then
its increased 3000%, theres a huge dip midday saturday (it goes down to one
third its size in about 4hrs) then rapidly jumps up to higher than its pre-dip
value

thats messages tho, queue spool size hasnt gone up all that much, maybe 200%

no idea about our storage spools...

very odd!!
