Thread number and Ramp-up time relationship?

Hi All.
I am using JMeter 2.1.1 on Windows XP.

According JMeter documentation:
" The ramp-up period tells JMeter how long to take to "ramp-up" to the full
number of threads chosen. If 10 threads are used, and the ramp-up period is
100 seconds, then JMeter will take 100 seconds to get all 10 threads up and
running. Each thread will start 10 (100/10) seconds after the previous
thread was begun. If there are 30 threads and a ramp-up period of 120
seconds, then each successive thread will be delayed by 4 seconds."

I have started to monitor number of threads using Task Manager and I see
that all threads starts at once, and  ramp-up time doesn't play any role
here.
For example, when I have Number of Threads: 1000 and Ramp up time 60 sec, I
am expecting to get all 1000 threads up and running only in 60 sec. That  I
see is different: all 1000 threads started at once.

Is it something, that I am missing in configuration or it is a problem?

Thank you.

I've now checked the code, and can confirm that the threads are all
created at once.

Each thread then waits if necessary before starting to run the test plan itself.

Thank you for the question.
The threads just start at once. It is  true. Now I understand it.
And I don't know how to monitor the number of started (running) threads.
Does any body know? Please, give an advise.

Pavel

But do the threads *start* earlier than expected, or is it just that
the threads are created all at once?
