Just so. The bandwidth they request is based on instructions/work. We
need to get a certain amount of instructions sorted. Nobody cares we get
an exact 10% at random frequency if they loose they finger because we
didn't get that final instruction out that stops the saw blade.

Yes, that's a wrong view :-) We don't care about 'time', we care about
getting the instruction stream / work completed.
