Back when it made more sense I thought that maybe handle_ts only dealt with the information from a single thread for each client rather than the aggregate of multiple thread jobs. That part seems to hold true even when it doesn't have the info for all the clients. Is this reporting the aggregate as expected? Is there a parameter change that I need to make to get the output I expect?
