This could be a significant source of memory use, to parse the page and retrieve certain elements. I find better solutions to be: 1)Using the proxy server, allow it to record all static requests and keep them in the test plan. Allows you to turn off redirect-following and retrieving embedded resources. 2)Figure out the approximate production ratio of page request/static resource download and make explicit requests for the static elements of your site, put them inside a throughput controller. Since browsers usually cache these items, these resources are downloaded somewhat less frequently than the dynamic pages, so this helps reproduce that effect. Other than this, your test plan doesn't sound all that stressful for JMeter. > > > 3.

But, I still don't understand why that's a problem. -Mike > > "BAZLEY, Sebastian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Another thing - are you using the default HTTP sampler (uses the JVM http > implementation) or the new sampler (uses Apache HTTPClient)? > > Also, keep-alive?
