Should we call this parameter rather `firstResultTimeOffset`? This would
allow us to also use it to configure early results later. The value would be an
offset from the original computation time. A positive value (> 0) would mean
deferred computation (later than usual) and a negative value (<0) would mean an
early computation / early result.
