It could. Find a small patch **on top of v5** which does that. I've tried
to update the documentation accordingly as well.

Note that the information is already there as the average lag time is
reported, ISTM that:

avg latency2 ~ avg lag + avg latency1

so it is just a matter of choice, both are ok somehow. I would be fine
with both.
