The simple answer is you would never do that. You will always have a ramp-up and a ramp-down. You should exclude these phases in your calculations if you need the values under load only. Even if you "thread issue" were fixed, how would you deal with differing response times? They still affect your

Another idea would be to simply force stop the test using a Test Action Sampler when any thread finishes its 1,000 iteration. This could also help to prove if their is some sort of thread scheduling problem here. For instance, if a single thread hits 1,000 and the other threads are at their 30th

Perhaps there is a workaround for this, but I have identified a small flaw in how JMeter is running threads. Assume for a second that I have a test where I want to run a 100 simultaneous users through a procedure. I'd like the test to start and finish running 100 simultaneous threads. The way JMe
