arrivalRate lower than 1

See original GitHub issue

ideally it would be nice to have the ability to make request over a given duration with fewer concurrent virtual users than 1 per second. it looks like it is not possibile to specify an arrivalRate lower than 1.

we are currently trying to load-test our cluster with artillery and it works pretty well though in our case single services take long running tasks and we need to stress both the cluster and individual service for given phases and scenarios.

@hassy the problem can indeed be solved by tweaking both arrivalCount and duration properties each time and this is what we currently do though it feels quite strange at least to me doing the math each time again when trying to adjust the suite’s throughput better expressed with an arrivalRate property. we’ve tried the previous patch #280 on our suites and the behaviour seems stable. just to make an example an arrivalRate of .5 would represent one request each 2 seconds and this once over a consistent duration.

What’s your use-case @ivoputzer? Can it be solved by using arrivalCount? An arrivalRate of less than 1 doesn’t really make sense intuitively.
