Better metrics about sleep and group #921
Description
Currently if a group includes a 10 second sleep we are going to say that the group took 10 seconds, which while correct might not be what the enduser is interested in.
I propose that we:
- implement New metric to measure sleep times #880
- Have the group know that there was n seconds of sleep in it's current execution - probably through some new methods on lib.Group
- Add new metric
group_sleep? - Choose whether to remove the sleep time from the
group_durationor add another metric that is thegroup_durationwithout thegroup_sleepor the reverse - have thegroup_durationbe without thegroup_sleepbut have anotherfull_group_durationthat includes thegroup_sleep

In my past experience working with users of the LI v3.0 product, I never really encountered anyone who was interested in knowing sleep times within their script. Quite frankly, I don't think it's that interesting to keep track of - it's just measuring idle time. For users that do desire to know it, it shouldn't be that difficult to create a custom metric and calculate how long the sleep times are within any given script.
If there are cases where it is interesting, I'd love to know them. But I think just making sure groups deduct sleep time from their total time would improve the usefulness of group time.
Add group_sleep metric to measure sleep time per group
Add group_sleep metric to measure sleep time per group
