降低负荷10倍
既降低到原负荷的十分之一。
i.e., reduce the load to 1/10 of the original load (a 90% reduction).
log = logarithm (对数)
1 log means 1 log reduction (10 folds).
2 log means 2 log reduction (100 folds), and so on.
See the web:
“What does 5-log mean?
The term "log" is short for logarithm. A logarithm is a "power of ten". Each log reduction is a reduction of 90%. So, a 1 log reduction is a 90% reduction, a 2 log reduction is 99%, and a 5 log reduction is 99.999%.”
