Hi, for large numbers of threads, be careful to keep the whole test as small as possible. Each thread must maintain a dedicated copy, so memory consumption rises with thread plan complexity. Refer to http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/best-practices.html#lean_mean
Of course, listeners like Aggregate Report consume memory over time, that's true, refer to the Component Reference for alternatives that may suit your needs better. Your Java settings look fine to me. HTH, Felix On 08/04/10 11:54, Blostin wrote: > > Hi, > > Can anyone help me with this problem?
