why is the ramp-up period in seconds?

Hi,

why is the ramp-up period not in ms? I would like to start a new thread every 
75ms for a short amount of time.

What I do now is use a test action sampler with a constant timer at the 
beginning of the thread reading a csv data value which contains 
75,150,225, ...

Does this make sense or is there a better way (performance-wise)?


thanks,


Tom

Ooops - I had the manual differently in mind. The ramp-up period field works 
just the way I need it - great!

Historical reasons.

Also, it does not make much sense to start too many threads in a short
space of time.

You could use the threadNumber function and multiply that accordingly,
rather than reading from a file.
