A loop count of 1 won't show how the application behaves under sustained load.

As far as I can see, the aggregate figures also won't mean very much,
as they will depend considerably on the ramp-up time. Also, any
start-up overhead in JMeter will have a disproportionate effect.

I'd suggest using a smaller thread count and a larger loop count.
[I normally use ramp-up=thread count, i.e. 1 second between threads]

There are some very useful articles on performance testing by Peter
Lin and others on the JMeter Wiki.
