dispatch reaper metrics

In 6.5 it looks like there is a new metric event that tracks the dispatch reaper. You can view it with

index=_internal  sourcetype=splunkd dispatch_dir_reaper_mean_ms 

Consistently the value for dispatch_dir_reaper_mean_ms is several orders of magnitude higher than dispatch_dir_reaper_max_ms, which is strange considereing the field names

Has anyone else seen this or know if it signifies anything?
