Author Number of Users and Browser Connections

I recently recorded a browser session.

I then developed 5 separate user groups.

5 users, 10 users, 25 users, 50 users, and 125 users.

I run the ACT test separately with each user group. Each time I set
the browser connections to match the number of users. In addition I
set the number of iterations to 50. 50 seemed like a nice round
number. I don't really understand the benefits of higher and lower
iterations. Save more results from which to get a better average. I
also set fEnableDelays = true.

I hope that makes sense.

Here's the hiccup I'm encountering.

For 5 users the ACT test takes approximately 15 minues to run. Each
iteration is seemingly run.

When I switch the number of users it seems as if all the iterations
are not performed. Especially at 50 and 125 users. After one
iteration runs it seems as if it hiccups and stops running.

Is it the number of users or connections that's blowing this up?

Any help or advice would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

The more browser connections, the more stress on your client machine which
can cause errors to be returned.

Thank You
