Ok, thanks.

This now begs the question:

In --rate mode, shouldn't the reported transaction latency also be 
calculated from the *scheduled* start time, not the time the transaction 
actually started? Otherwise we're using two different definitions of 
"latency", one for the purpose of the limit, and another for reporting.
