There are two cases there: 1) The main problem is how would you create a load when two actions are very close "by pure chance"? For instance, current CTT will eventually create very even distribution with all pauses equal (assuming the response times are stable). By default, if you launch "360 per hour", you might expect "one sample every 10 seconds": 0, 10, 20, 30, ... That would miss cases when "two samples took place at very similar point in time" like 0, 11, 12, 30, .. "Poission process" models that appropriately. Even though it creates "constant throughput", the particular arrival times are random, so multiple events can appear close to each other. 2) "Always start 5 samples at once". Something like that can be achieved by current "synchronizing timer", however there are cases when you need to "test rare cases that always come in pairs" Vladimir
