The  View Result in Table Listener is fairly expensive as it has to
keep details for every sample. Try disabling it. If you use CSV output
you can reload the data later.

However, I think the problem is purely due to the excessively short
ramp-up. As your tests show, a ramp-up of 5 or so works much better.
Even a value 5 means that JMeter has to create 200 sampler threads in
one second. That's a lot of work, both for JMeter - and the server and
network if JMeter succeeds in doing so.

You probably need to use more samples (or repeat the existing ones),
so that the first threads are still running when the last threads
start.

What is the load that your server is expected to handle?
