Hmm, didn't know there were two options. Looking at the June 12th nightly build I'm using, the Sampler gives "HTTP Request" and "HTTPRequest HTTP Client(ALPHA)" . I am using the default http sampler because that is what the Proxy recorder uses. I have been using this since version 1.9. All requests use keep alive. Just one or two use redirect, but that is only done once per user (done for login). To answer Mike's questions: 1. Are you using any timers? 250 virtual users with no delays is a hell of a load Yes. Between controllers (there are 2 that are repeated for 45 minutes), I have uniform random timer between 5 to 15 seconds. Then I have some "user" think time between opening menus that are uniform random between 1.5 to 5 seconds. And some uniform random timers between 1 to 4 seconds for "waiting" to click on a link. Then there are some requests that are performed without timers. 2. What kind of average response times are you getting from these requests? The overall average total is 33 seconds. Some pages have it set to retrieve embedded resources.
3. What order of magnitude are the responses? 10's of bytes? 100's? 1000's? 10's of KB? The average request response size is 42KB. The minimum response time is less than 1KB The largest response is 394KB which happens when opening a page. 4. What kind of dynamic elements do you have in the test plan? Are you doing a lot of regex parsing of response data? Out of 44 HTTP Requests, I have 7 regex parsing and 14 Assertions There are 6 aggregate listeners. Running without the listeners did not make a difference.
