What is that 7723745 value? 44 too?

Please explain it in plain english and not in the context of some script
you're running. Just assume I don't know *anything* about will-it-scale.
How would you explain what those numbers are, to me?

And then consider adding boilerplate text to your reports *explaining*
what you're measuring because as it is now, people are left wondering
WTF is going on.
