That a very inspirational news. :)

Yes, that's true - but maybe it won't be too hard to modify some
listeners and write MyHttpSampler2 or smth like that.. The idea is -
that mostly there is no need in such assertions as regular expression
checkings, some compilcated logics based on previos responds...

Acha, that's why the previous one is saved.. To make some decisions upon it?...

Yes, but I'm thinking about freeing all the links to this array of
bytes as soon as possible for garbage collector being able to free the
memory.

Well on P4 with 1.5 Gb of RAM and Linux with 2.6.8 kernel it appeared
to be possible. Someone tested it and afaik it worked. I think that
even more threads in JMeter are possible simultaniously if not that
memory usage issue...

A simple Java application is able to generate about 5-7 thousands of
threads with Java 1.5 and this configuration.

PS Maybe you can give some advices how to improve JMeters behaviour in
thousands of threads working alltogether situation?

PPS Thank you for your answers!
