rps option dose not limit of request rate

[drfunjohn]

Hi.
when I run next h2load with next values:
h2load --rps=70 --h1 -t1 -c50 -D20s
I get correct rps:
finished in 20.01s, 3497.50 req/s, 403.03KB/s requests: 69950 total, 70000 started, 69950 done, 69950 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 errored, 0 timeout status codes: 69950 2xx, 0 3xx, 0 4xx, 0 5xx traffic: 7.87MB (8254100) total, 5.40MB (5665950) headers (space savings 0.00%), 136.62KB (139900) data min max mean sd +/- sd time for request: 703us 18.96ms 3.69ms 1.33ms 66.71% time for connect: 5us 325us 167us 108us 52.00% time to 1st byte: 2.89ms 4.65ms 3.68ms 751us 38.00% req/s : 69.94 69.95 69.94 0.00 60.00%

but when I encrease rps to 78 (per client) I get:

h2load --rps=78 --h1 -t1 -c50 -D20s

finished in 20.01s, 11506.50 req/s, 1.29MB/s requests: 230130 total, 230180 started, 230130 done, 230130 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 errored, 0 timeout status codes: 230130 2xx, 0 3xx, 0 4xx, 0 5xx traffic: 25.90MB (27155340) total, 17.78MB (18640935) headers (space savings 0.00%), 449.48KB (460270) data min max mean sd +/- sd time for request: 254us 20.98ms 2.76ms 1.64ms 73.02% time for connect: 32us 284us 183us 64us 66.00% time to 1st byte: 1.75ms 4.59ms 3.91ms 624us 88.00% req/s : 165.99 661.60 230.12 93.95 92.00%
