They don't advance together. Each server's testing advances as fast as it can, depending on its channels latency. Also, graphically, no space below the grid for so much text.
Might be neat to see a "sweep line" (as on a radar) - just a little vertical line in each row, after the last-checked channel. Won't tell us how long ago the next one was tested, but if there is a lot of yellow or red left of the line, one could deduce that any green to its right is suspect. Or would that still require too much application of "inside information" on how it works (i.e., would only be understood by those of us who already understand the meaning of a bunch of high-latency yellows followed by greens)?
Or, as I suggested before, fading/graying out any indicator that is over a minute old.
