I see. So both start at the same time but elapsed time also includes
the following?

Latency is the time at which the first byte of the html page gets
received by jmeter.  After that point in time several TCP/IP segments
may be required to actually download the entire page.  These segments
may require acknowledgements which would introduce additional network
delays before the page is fully received.  In addition, the bandwidth of
the "last mile" will typically limit the speed at which the rest of the
page gets delivered.

The latency time is typically a better measure of system response time
than the total response time.  This is especially true of large pages
where the network component of the response time can easily dominate the
user response time.
