real-time ... and they aren't "for all time", the #s are based on systems 
reporting in over the past 60 days, so you will periodically see a bit of back 
tracking, depending on when in the cycle hosts reported in ... if I reload the 
page a few times, I may see it go from 25 013 -> 25 103 -> 25 143 -> 25 140 ... 
but the overall is an upward increase in numbers ...
