Which version of Jmeter are you using? I don't understand what's happening here.
Try replacing your HTTP Sampler with a JavaTest sampler to see if the timings are affected by the presence of the user parameter pre-processor or not. Or indeed try using the standard HTTP Sampler instead of yours. If either of these shows the timing problem, please create a Bugzilla issue, and then attach the following: - simple test script that has OK timing data - simple test script that causes timing data problems - jmeter.log for both test runs - jtl files for both runs. S. P.S. If you thing the changes you made to the HTTP Sampler might be useful to others, perhaps you would consider filing a Bugzilla enhancement request to describe what you have added.
