Comment(by robgjansen):

 Replying to [comment:15 arma]:
 > I have the same question as I had for #6341: both credit cap cases get
 their last byte faster than vanilla, but they end up doing fewer
 transfers. What's up with that?

 I don't know enough about what the credit cap thing is supposed to be
 doing here to answer this. Can you give any intuition to whether or not
 you would expect this to happen given the desired functionality here?
 And/or can you explain what the patch does briefly?

 Also, note that a separate vanilla run was done in #6401 where the load
 mostly agrees with the vanilla run here. So is it reasonable to say the
 patch is causing the behavior?
