Updates to sl_confirm take place as SYNCs are processed, and the
granularity is never terribly exact.

- If the system is pretty busy (e.g. - regular updates to tables),
  SYNCs will be processed fairly frequently (often with default
  behaviour of either every 1s or every 10s), but with some lag
  due to how long the SYNC takes to process.

- If the system is NOT busy (e.g. - quiet times when updates to tables
  are infrequent), the default sync_interval_timeout is 10s, and hence
  on average, confirmations will be behind by 5s (1/2 of 10s).
