My intention (and usecase) is just to put more replay I/O load, so
multiplication is purely for ease of use. So yes, I can live perfectly
fine with per-thread(job) absolute offset configuration.
In fact, it may be better as offset can be chosen to access disk more
evenly/randomly.

Do you want me to submit a new patch without multiplication?
