I re-run them with a different model? I can do that this weekend if I
know what to simulate.

The "IM" client simply fetches a 1 KiB file every [1,5] seconds, and will
not create your "sparse exit stream" situation as I understand it, since
it will be reading and writing approximately the same amount.
We could configure a new client type that fetches 1 byte files at a time
from a web server, though not from several streams at once. Will that give
you the effect you are looking for, or will there not be enough data
transferred there to make a difference? (I suspect the latter...)
