Sounds reasonable. But the length of the fill phase depends on your cache
size and fill request rate so it varies slightly depending on your
configuration.

The test phase alone is 20m+4h+20m+20m+20m+4h+20m or 9 hours. But before
the test phase begins it fills the cache with 2 * cache_size of cacheable
content with a 5% hit ratio and a rate of FillRate.

There is no meaningful results until the top1 phase, and this needs to
have been running for a significant amount of time before the results is
somewhat useable.

The test terminates automatically when completed.
