It was technically, according to my watch, exactly 9:53AM when I wrote

downward as time passed. So, I don't know why the load was 0.00. I was
still busily downloading "all messages" (2 each) in all the loc.*

not O(n), that might be the problem...?

Agent produces a separate task for each download of messages,
