If you want to test the raw performance of JMeter on your box, you can always create a test plan using the JavaTest (or Sleep) Sampler. These do not require any external connectivity.
They don't use as many resources as an HTTP Sampler, but should give you some idea of what your system can do. You can then try HTTP Samplers running against a *local* web server with known good performance. Other things which might slow JMeter down: - lots of other applications competing for resources - running in functional mode - lots of listeners - client-server mode is also currently rather resource/network intensive.

HTTP Requests are usually VERY small strings sent across a wire. Not much to it. I think you need to read more about how the whole web protocol works. The bottleneck is on the server. I use the aggregate results listener with an infinite loop on the thread to determine where the bottlenecks are on the server. Then I turn on a Java profiling tool on the server (Optimizeit, JProfiler, etc.) and focus primarily on the HTTP Request that take the most time.

For example, I have wait 1 minute for the two first "HTTP Request", and "View Results in Table" says it has taken 3 seconds ! Is there a document about good use rules of JMeter GUI ? If not, could some one tell me how to improve the time a run takes. If it can help, here is my scenario content : - 1 "HTTP Request Defaults", 1 "HTTP Cookie Manager" and 1 "User Parameter" at the beginning. - A list of "HTTP Request" Sampler with a "Response Assertion" on each. - 1 "View Results Tree" and 1 "View Results in Table" at the end.
