The scale is "realative" to recent readings.

If the last reading or so was 12, and the current one is 3000, it'll peg. If the last reading or so was 3000, and the current one is 12, it'll sag.

It shifts..its part of the MEI.

And the 10 splodges isn't related to ops at all; it's the CPU usage, 0 to 100%.

Nope, it's just a bar graph of the number displayed to the left of the bar graph.

And what is the scale? Ten splodges equals how many ops? It looks to me more like some sort of autoscaling based on a rolling average, as I have seen the bar graph shoot off to the right during slack times when the number is relatively low compared to its rated max ops/sec.
