Why does cfstat always show reqs qued even when there isn't any traffic to site?

I'm trying to use cfstat to help figure out some performance issues with our production server. Its CF 10 Ent on a Windows 2008 VM. I also have ColdFusion 10 installed on a local Windows VM.

I run cfstat with a 1 second refresh on the production server and local VM. The local VM Reqs Q'ed column shows a constant 10 even though I'm not hitting any sites on the server. The production server shows a constant 20+ Reqs Q'ed and a few les Reqs Run'g.

Is this normal? Do I need to make some adjustments to CF or the JVM?

Thanks
