Annotation Type InitialDelay

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
public @interface InitialDelay

InitialDelay tells the driver to wait for a random amount of time up to the specified max before launching the first operation. This is most useful in fixed-cycle drivers (all operations use @FixedTime) to distribute the arrival of the operations across time. Otherwise we will see a thundering-herd effect for each operation which renders the simulation far less useful and realistic. The random time is selected from a uniform distribution.
