 What's in the Throttle map?
 ---------------------------
-This map contains entries. Bert should comment on this.
+This map contains a history about nameservers returning unuseful answers. The ''throttle-entries'' in the statistics shows the number of entries in this map.
 
 What's the ''throttled-out'' in the stats?
 ------------------------------------------
-This counter counts the number of queries that we're not recursing for because we're already actively waiting for results for the exact same query (?). If an answer isn't found within N seconds, servfails will be sent out to the clients (?).
+If a certain nameserver is not responding, or if it is, but returning unuseful answers, the query can
+get prevented from happening and causing delay. This is called a 'throttled
+out-query'
