Paused server and catching up?

Why would a paused server need catching up?
I have used the server setting where it pauses the server if no one is logged on:
"_comment_auto_pause":
"Whether should the server be paused when no players are present.",
"auto_pause": true,
Yet when I connect with no one else on the server, and after downloading the map, I have to sit there and wait about 5-10 minutes for my computer to catch up.
What my computer catching up to? The server is supposed to be paused and doing nothing until someone has joined.
(If the server unpauses immediately on connect, while I am still downloading the map, this appears to be a bug and not how this is supposed to work.)

I think that's exactly how it currently works.

How do I pause the game from the console, so that I can re-pause my linux headless Factorio via SSH until the map download/catch-up finishes?

Its fixed in 0.15, so that the game will only unpause once the download is finished

Another bug bites the dust.
But again,
IN 0.15!!!

Was this ever actually added to the game? I don't understand what I am seeing, even with 0.16.x.
1. Empty server. It is paused with no one logged on.
2. Join server. See message "downloading map".
3. Then a "catching up" progress bar appears, and may take many minutes to reach 100%.
...???
If the server's game is paused with no one on it, then apparently I should be able to download and immediately join without ever seeing the "catching up" progress bar...
