Neither. The average is the average of the response (elapsed) times for the relevant set of results. The response (elapsed) time is described here: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/glossary.html What do the individual elapsed times show? [e.g. use Table or Tree View Listener] Which Listener are you using that shows the average times? > -- > Robin D.
