due to sks's design, stats calculations can make a server briefly
unresponsive.  It would be a bad thing if all servers in a pool
calculated stats at the exact same time.

Furthermore, depending on the amount of RAM and the disk I/O capacity,
the time that the server is unresponsive can vary.  The administrator of
a machine where RAM is tight and disk I/O is limited might well prefer
to do more infrequent stat rebuilds to minimize the amount of downtime
incurred.
