The server cannot respond any faster than JMeter is able to drive it; however it may respond slower. in which case JMeter will wait for it to respond before sending the next request in the thread. If the server is having problems, then the sample elapsed times will normally start increasing. The JMeter server sends back the samples to the client after the sample has finished, but before the next sample can occur, so any delays in returning the sample to the client will slow down the rate at which the thread can issue requests to the server. This is equivalent to adding a delay after each request. So you need to compare the elapsed times. If these are similar in both situations, then the server is behaving the same. Then compare the gaps between sample requests. If these are much longer than expected from the test plan, it's likely that the server-client communication overhead is causing a problem. > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/JMeter-GUI-vs-JMeter-Server-tp4822852p4826255.html > Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: jmeter-user-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: jmeter-user-h...@jakarta.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: jmeter-user-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: jmeter-user-h...@jakarta.apache.org
