Either we could extend this plugin with a precise mode (instruction based), or simply emit an error when ips is too low, like < 100. I'm more in favor of the latter solution.

Although we asks for instructions per second we work in quanta and that cannot be 0. Fail to load the plugin instead and report the minimum IPS we can handle.
