Description

• We right now are able to generate n transactions a second per daemon.
• However, I'd like to implement a global data rate, so that generators slow down/speed up at diffferent times.

Some ideas on how to do this.

• Embed a "rate" function into the transaction generator options... such that it randomly speeds up/slows down over time. downside: there is no real global data rate here. its just a bunch of coordinated data generators.

• Send a new parameter, a REST endpoint, which can be scraped to get a hint of global data rate. The generators can use that endpoint to calibrate how fast/slow they should be going.

rnowling evans_ye sekikn im leaning towards #2. Any thoughts?
