            Bug ID: 65031
           Summary: Ramp-up period not accurate
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 5.2.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Mac OS X 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: rabele...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: JMETER 5.4.1

There seems to be a problem in calculation of ramp up period according to the
documentation. 

The documentation states:

"The ramp-up period tells JMeter how long to take to "ramp-up" to the full
number of threads chosen. If 10 threads are used, and the ramp-up period is 100
seconds, then JMeter will take 100 seconds to get all 10 threads up and
running. Each thread will start 10 (100/10) seconds after the previous thread
was begun. If there are 30 threads and a ramp-up period of 120 seconds, then
each successive thread will be delayed by 4 seconds."

But doing some simple tests, if I set ramp-up period to 10 seconds, and 1
thread, the thread starts without any delay (so, full number of threads is
reached in 0 time). If I use 2 threads, then first thread starts immediately
and second thread starts after 5 seconds (reaching full number of threads at 5
seconds).

In general it seems that if ramp-up period is set to X seconds, and there are Y
threads, the time taken to start all the threads is X - X/Y.

This is not a major issue, but one that may confuse users and that requires
additional calculation to get the proper desired ramp-up.
