Sorry about that. I was desperately searching for Undo button after hitting
"send" for the very same reason :-) Looks like I used gnuplot after a few
years.

Just to make it clear, the X-axis is duration of tests in seconds and
Y-axis is 450s moving average of TPS. BTW 450 is no magic figure. I
collected stats every 15s and took a moving average of last 30 samples.

Thanks,
