- JMeter 2.4 being run on a Windows XP box
- Testing 4 HTML (over HTTPS) pages
- Key Issue - when "Retrieve All Embedded Resources" is enabled, test runs for ~500-600 iterations (2400 of the 4 pages + 10X that in embedded resources), then pauses for about 35 seconds, then starts running at full speed again. (THE PAUSE IS NOT INTENDED, AND IS THE PRECISE PROBLEM EXPERIENCED.)
Server Configuration: - Apache Web (HTTPS) Server - configured for AJP Proxy to Tomcat Java App Server **
- Main page hitting AJP to Tomcat
- ** Embedded Resources (images, .js, .css, flash movies, etc.) served directly from Apache docroot
- Tomcat Server (receives AJP requests only from Apache Server)
- MySQL DB Server (receives JDBC connections from Tomcat Server only)
