Hmm, ok. Perhaps one could set it in % of original releaserate.

No, I have no example where it was used for puzzles. - But I could 
create some levels utilizing it.
Though, I remember the series of "all lemmings have to dig through thin 
floor because otherwise they fall too high" levels. I think there were 
three levels. The only difference was the number of lemmings to save.
I noticed that you, by increasing the flow-rate of lemmings could avoid 
having to make all the lemmings dig (because some of them could step 
down on the holes being digged by the lemmings in front of them) and 
hence I would be able to save a larger number of lemmings than the 
number required in the last of those levels.
