This is not scientific. I've just used JMeter a lot and tweaked these numbers. This is about what I've come up with. A factor of 10-20X the thread amount is roughly equal to the number of actual concurrent users. This depends on your actual application, user base, etc. but it will usually hold water. Mike

BTW, I usually equate about 10 threads to about 100-200 actual concurrent users. The number of users the number of threads seems to represent is actually about 10-20X the thread number. This is because the threads are not throttled by default. If you put on 100 - 200 threads but throttle requests to like 10 seconds or so between them then it will serve the same purpose (just about) but take up a ton more resources and not be all that different than just 10 non-throttled threads.
