How to interpret Messages / Client value from the report.

[carlospsikick]

Hello:
this is not a big deal, but I'm finding something a little confusing in the report output. When, for example, I run the program with -num-clients 10 -num-messages 10

The report shows Messages / Client: 100 , that is the total number of messages (clients * messages)

My expectation is that this value would be the same as --num-messages to reflect the configuration of that run.

Sample output:

# Configuration
Concurrent Clients: 10
Messages / Client:  100

# Results
Published Messages: 100 (100%)
Received Messages:  100 (100%)
Completed:          10 (100%)
Errors:             0 (0%)

If this is something that should be fixed, I'll be happy to make the PR with the adjustment (it should be minimal), but if I'm understanding this wrong, please disregard.

All the best

This is a valid concern. I'm currently in the process of planning a major refactoring of this stresser. One point is to generate machine readable output for post processing. While implementing that output, I will most probably refactor the current human readable output as well.
