I think this is a good way to explaining how the Sysop might work.
Lots of vis job is going to be fidgeting, just doing basic blocking
that will hardly require any effort. But, there are going to be
cases that require careful consideration and more resources. Thus,
the Sysop will have enough resources (aside from the fact that ve
will be assigning resources and of course make sure ve has enough)
because not every situation will require even close to an equal
number of cycles.
