Exception percentage just got over 100%, new record! (?) http://i57.tinypic.com/4hphtd.png

It is now up to 175% a couple minutes later (and 205% a couple minutes after that). The issue seems to be that it is actually currently more like 10000%, and is being averaged down throughout the month to a mere 100-200%. What is this even measuring?!

If I were implementing something tracking the rate of exceptions a reasonable thing to measure it against is the total number of requests. In such a system, if each request generated multiple exceptions you would have >100% exception rate.
