I believe Tobias was not saying "codespeed can't have a measurement called 
'latency'" but rather "codespeed can't do histograms of measurements, which we 
need for measurement of latency and you don't need for measurement of 
throughput".  Is that accurate?  I don't know if there's a histogram feature 
hidden in the UI somewhere.

It would be nice to at least try a little bit to contribute things (like a 
histogram feature) to codespeed before charging off in a completely different 
direction.
