Nino, This is an issue that has cropped up in the past. In my experiance, JMeter (and I am not convinced it is JMeter's fault - it could be to do with Java) hangs when there are a lot of threads. I have seen this when I know it is not the web server that is hanging, because I was load-testing TAG, a web server that has a radically different approach to the likes of Apache and IIS, and for which I could monitor all the internals. I have also seen this on Linux and Window XP.
I think the real issue is that no software works well with very large numbers of threads. If you really want to run vast numbers of concurrent actions, you need a non-blocking approach. Note, Apache does not uses non-blocking, but it does thread pooling, which results in it actually not handling large numbers of concurrent activities, it just lets the OS queue them. The only real way to destruction test a web server is to have multiple machines hitting it at once, you cannot expect a single machine running multiple virtual clients to do the job.
