Dmitry, Subrahmanya: I think the traditional boundaries between performance and functional testing will get more blurred with time. After all, it's isn't not very useful performance testing a complex application if it doesn't function properly and the testing application cannot detect the misbehavior.

Hey, I think Dmitry has some valid points. When I used Jmeter for one of retail projects, the focus was more on loading the server. It was all about the server gettting bombarded with requests and it responding back. Plus, I had to maintain the cpu of the load simulating machines well below 50% to make sure that the load simulated is actually happened at the server. Meaning, had to keep the response processing as low as possible.
