    NvU32             averageEncodeLatency;        //!< Moving average encode latency in milliseconds.

When using a VR streaming headset, this is reporting an active session with ~ 900 latency - it is very clear that I am not playing VR with nearly a second of latency.

Based on nvidia-smi, this field is incorrectly documented, and is actually microseconds, not milliseconds:
