Because the schedule is based on a stochastic process, transactions are not
set regularly (that would induce patterns and is not representative of
real-life load) but randomly.
The long term average is expected to converge to 2 tps, but on a short run
it may differ significantly.
Hmm. Is that documented somewhere?
Sure, see --rate option in pgbench doc, which states:
"The rate is targeted by starting transactions along a Poisson-distributed
schedule time line."
The impact on the tps is implied, though.
