State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 30 21:13:17 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
We don't actually measure the time per transaction in the kernel, so it
isn't really possible to give the user a "real" time per transaction
number.  The number we print out is an average time per transaction,
derived as the submitter guessed from the number of transactions in the
measurement period and the measurement period itself.  There has been
talk about doing a kernel facility to measure the time per transaction,
but I don't expect it to happen any time soon.  So I'm leaving this PR
in the suspended state in case I decide to do a facility to measure the
time per transaction at some point in the future.
