Actually, maybe it isn't needed. I want to plot it in gnuplot, and, 
after doing a bit of looking, found that gnuplot can happily do the 
multiplication for me :)

Personally, I would prefer "rescued" instead of the "average rate" 
column, as it would just be easier to do a quick look in the rates file. 
But that is just my preference, and as pointed out it would most 
definitely make the rates file bigger. Maybe more opinions are needed on 
this one. I guess if no one else wants it changed, then it can be left 
as is.
