It's an exponential decay of the frequency of arrival if I remember
right, think of it as a "bogo-frequency".

If anybody can come up with a better method/metric, I'm all ears.

Varnishtop was just something I threw together in 15 minutes it never
got the love and attention it really deserves.

And it would make great starting point for hacking varnish code.
