>Maybe then there is a problem with the scanning of the HTML to extract the embedded resources, or maybe one of the embedded resources is a tar-pit.
If this were the case, I would expect the first sample to show the problem. The fact that it does 600+ iterations without a problem - and _then_ stalls seems like it rules out any problem with the returned HTML (especially since the only difference in the returned result is the username supplied by JMeter). >Do all the expected embedded resources get downloaded? Zero errors (even with the pauses there are no errors at all). >Are there any unusually long elapsed times for embedded resources? I see the 'max request duration' jump up right after the pause - but it is only 10-11 seconds (not ~35 seconds like the pause). >Or large gaps between the parent sample download completion and the start of the first embedded resource? Not that I can see... I'll see if I can get more detail on this. >That would suggest the page took a while to parse. I would assume that because this happens ~600+ iterations into the test (the first time), that if it was related to parsing the page, I would see it earlier in the test run cycle. And I wouldn't expect a parsing problem to repeat on such a consistent basis - without happening on every sample. Right now, if it is a parsing problem, it only happens the ~600th time it sees the same page, which seems really surprising to me (then it happens again after another ~600 iterations, etc.). Also, I would expect the parser to take up some CPU and perhaps even some I/O cycles, but the PerfMon shows idle during the pause period. >You'll need to select the optiion to "save subresults" in order to see the embedded samples. ... >BTW, you wrote you were running JMeter 2.4.1 - that does not exist, so perhaps you meant the current version, 2.5.1? Sorry, I meant 2.4. I didn't upgrade to 2.5 (and beyond) because of a previously reported problem where 2.5+ slows down my throughput to about 60% of what I get on 2.4. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
