As you noted, the "0 31" argument means it has read the config

Is it possible that on this host the pool is relatively empty so the
other 7 children finish quickly?  The first one (with -m) does some
extra work, so it usually takes longer.  Look in the LOG file - there
should be an entry for each child starting and finishing.
