 Replying to [comment:3 johnd]:
 > These look like useful options.

 > Testing how long it takes for some operations could be handled by using
 both -r and -n, with a -d value large enough that the tool will wait a
 long time for any backlog that results to clear.  The statistics would
 then tell how long it took for the backlog to clear.

 unambiguous pass result?
 See comments to ticket #1337. I put some ideas there. And don't worry.
 These are not needed for this milestone. That is something we could
 develop eventually.

 That sounds fine for this release. It is already ambitious goal as we have
 around a month. Let's not make this even harder.
