By default it uses both; currentTimeMillis is used to generate start/end timestamps, and nanoTime is used to generate elapsed time. Unfortunately it turns out that nanoTime drifts quite badly relative to currentTimeMillis, so currentTimeMillis has to be used to anchor that drift. Otherwise the times just don't add up properly. The JMeter property "sampleresult.useNanoTime" can be set to "false" to disable the use of nanoTime. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@jmeter.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@jmeter.apache.org
