So, I created a test case that simply performs a 'POST' to a cgi-bin test 
script. The test script simple pauses for 2 seconds, then
returns a page that is full of useless text.

When I run this on my JMeter 2.6 GUI, I see that the 'average' sample time for 
this page (this is the only sampler in the test) is
~750ms... BUT I _KNOW_ that each page takes at least 2 seconds to return from 
the request. Because I have a 'sleep 2' at the top of
the page.

So is the 'average' time actually measuring the time it takes to receive the 
response (after the response starts), or is it
measuring the time it takes to receive the response after the request ends 
(which is what I really want)?
