G'day
I changed the JVM under which I am running JMeter server from 1.4.2 to 5 and found a reduction in throughput of about 25%. This was: - in distributed mode with the client on Windows XP and one server on AIX - without rebuilding JMeter for Java 5 - with the client always at 1.5 - with the memory management options in the JMeter proc commented out (for other reasons) but with plenty of memory allocated to the JVM on the server - running JMeter hard but not excessively so (360 concurrent users running flat chat but with 25% spare CPU on the server) - on a five minute run Is that consistent with expectations and if so is there a known way to claw some of that performance back. (I'd prefer to run JMeter under 1.5 so my Java samplers can be at 1.5. But for the moment at least I can't live with a 25% throughput loss.)
