As explained in the doc, an estimate of the rate is computed every 10 sec 
during the test. The highest rate is the maximum value for all these 
estimations.

No, it's the maximum number of simultaneous connected users and 
simultaneous alive users.

An alive user may not have an established tcp connection to the server, for 
exemple during thinktimes.

The total number of users  created during the test is available in the 
'users_count' counters statistics

If everything runs ok, the total number of 'finish_users_count' should be 
equal to this (at the end of the test).
