+DW is Discarded Work items (work from block no longer valid to work on)
+LW is Locally generated Work items (during slow server providing work)
+LO is Local generation Occasions (server slow to provide work)
+RF is Remote Fail occasions (server slow to accept work)
+I is current Intensity (changes in dynamic mode).
