Hello,

Or *skipped*. That is why I changed the declaration comment.

No, under -R -L late schedules are simply skipped.

Yes we can, if they are skipped because the scheduling was too late to
execute them on time.

Around 100 times to catch up.

Yep. The "true" argument tells the stats that the transaction was skipped,
though. It just counting late transaction that could not be processed.

The logic is that at most one *real* transaction is actually performed in
the for, but there may be any number of "skipped" (unexecuted) ones, which
is fine.

Today was a holiday in France. Tomorrow is not.
