I agree with your argument about pages downloaded per second Peter; in
fact this graph is off by default in LoadRunner. But my company has used
this as a metric (among others) for years and is not about to change.
That's why I'm trying to find a JMeter equivalent.

jmeter will measure the requests per second. that isn't the same as
pages
per second for a couple of reasons.

1. a page may have multiple images and stuff embedded
2. images are cached by the browser the first time it's loaded
3. not every page is the same, so page per second a poor measurement of
load
4. bytes per second or requests per second is a better measurement
5. what happens when the pages change and a page ends up having more
images?

loadRunner is a good product. Pages downloaded per second isn't all that
useful from a capacity and planning perspective. It is much better to
measure bytes/second and requests/second.

my bias opinion.
