That matches with my crude status-checks on bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu.

Before bitftp cut off non-bitnet sites, they typically had a 500+ job
backlog queue.  Sometimes jobs took several days to complete, even with
multiple worker-machines (sort-of like processes - pucc is a VM system)
processing requests simultaneously.

Recent inquiries have showed a typical job queue under 100 jobs, and
the largest job-queue I saw was 167 jobs.
