I agree there are cases when you need to know/care of "performance of uncached user". However, in typical cases, everybody optimizes for "cached" case. Thus having "clear cache" is like shooting into one's foot. > Have we got statistics (from stackoverflow...) how JMeter is used? > It will help to make the good choices > We might want to collect anonymous statistics somehow.
