The more delay time, the more users you can simulate from the same JMeter client box - though still bound by memory to some maximum. Also, larger page sizes will let one box simulate more clients, as many threads will spend most of their time blocked by IO (though, you can maximize your pipe, or Java's overall IO throughput too).
Bottomline, you have to do some experimenting. My recommended method to do this is set up two JMeter instances, both running simultaneously against the same server. One on, you run a single user and this will be your baseline. On the other, increase the number of simulated users until the timing info there gets too far out of whack with the timing info on the baseline instance. -Mike On Wed, 2005-03-30 at 06:01 -0800, Bryan Segale wrote: > I understand that 1000 users with no user think time would be resourse > intensive.
