The rate can't be that rough if we already know it to 5 significant
digits. :-)
Accuracy != Precision. 91725 is indeed precise, but it was low by
about 9k req/sec, as Domas mentioned, since the count I used excluded
a new server. I expected that kind of error (though not that much of
one!), thus the 'roughly'. My apologies for the untrimmed figures.
