1) why not, good idea, but only if we don't enable 2)
2) My proposal is just to make the default enable it instead of not, with
jmeter properties.

Take a non gui load test, how to check overall state of your test?
- You can grep on csv but it's more linux and it's external tool
- summariser is good for this
now say you're a beginner in jmeter, do you find it a good thing that when
using non gui mode nothing is shown by default ?
I don't.

I remember when I started with it, I found  the tip on summariser only
weeks after using it on milamber blog :)
Now about performance, it only does easy sums inside synched block, and the
output which will be the most consuming happens every 10 seconds if we
configure it like this.
And you still have the option to disable it.

Regards
Philippe

Enabled by default - what does that mean? That it should be added to:
1) GUI test plans?
2) non-GUI runs?

If 1) then I agree it might be useful to add it to some of the
templates, to encourage using it.

If 2) then I disagree.
First off, I don't see how it encourages users to use non-GUI mode to
add it to non-GUI mode - which they must are already using.

Also, I hope that the performance impact is low, but we should check
first before making such a change.

I would prefer to see the documentation enhanced to more fully explain
the disadvantages of GUI mode, and point out how to make non-GUI mode
easier to use, e.g. by adding the Summariser.
