Two request with 100ms between them means that requests are coming 
at a 10 requests per second rate.  That is, second request have to 
be delayed.

Note that specifying rate of 4 r/s doesn't imply 1-second 
measurement granularity.  Much like 60 km/h speed limit doesn't 
imply that you have to drive for an hour before you'll reach a 
limit.
