Load question

[Ryo Sode <ry...@filemaker.com>]

Hi,

So I am trying to run a load test where a test plan is sent across 5
jmeter-server machines totaling about 100 threads (20 threads x 5)
constantly banging on a server.

However, I have a problem running this configuration and generate a highly
stressful load against the web server under test. It seems like both my
jmeter-server machines and the jmeter controller machine are too slow for
the purpose. Some of those requests involve downloading .gif image and I
wonder if this could cause a slow down as well. I made sure and turned off
unnecessary Listeners (such as View Results in Tree) to make sure the binary
data won't pile up in Jmeter's memory space...

So my question is, in order to create a fairly high performing jmeter-server
environment, what kind of computers do you guys use? And also, do you have
some tips for speeding up the jmeter based tests, especially when divided
across separate jmeter-server machines?

Best,
Ryo

Ways to give JMeter more oomph:
Use non-GUI mode.
Don't use *any* listeners.
Use CSV output rather than XML.
Give Java plenty of memory (-server etc).
