Ramp-Up time is nothing to do with throughput; it is just the total time to start all the threads.
It needs to be long enough to avoid too large a work-load at the start of a test, and short enough that the last threads start running before the first ones finish (unless one wants that to happen). Start with Ramp-up = number of threads and adjust as needed. Throughput is controlled by Timers and the Throughput Controller, plus of course the number of threads. For meaningful performance results, the test duration should be considerably longer than the ramp-up. Search the archives for a way of using BeanShell to control the throughput at run-time. S.
