Hi, There's many threads on this list about simulating high number of users with jMeter. The main limitation seems to be the number of threads. I wonder why jMeter uses the "1 dedicated Thread per (Virtual) User" strategy :
- each Thread uses native memory, large number of threads requires much memory - Thread context switch consumes CPU time. Switching hundred of threads on few cores over-consumes ressources. So, my question is : is there any plan, or any previous attempt, to use thread pools in jMeter ? Typically, beeing based on Java 5, java.util.concurrent provides the adequate thread pooling tools. Cheers, Nicolas
