That's a bit of a bother, though, since you have to collect data and
output from each individual run. And not only that, shutdown/startup
will make things less than smooth. It could potentially dirty your
results.
We could have something ala:
rate_sequence={10s:20M},{20s:5M}
or whatever, which runs 10s at 20M/sec, then 20s at 5M/sec. Repeat.
Would be fairly easy to do.
