    <p>You really have four possibilities here:</p> <ol> <li>You are measuring two different things. Check your timing record structure.</li> <li>Your request and response information is different between the two tools. Check with Fiddler or Wireshark.</li> <li>Your test environment initial conditions are different yielding different results. Test 101 stuff, but quite often overlooked in tracking down issues like this.</li> <li>You have an overloaded load generator in your loadrunner environment which is causing all virtual users to slow. For example you may be logging everything resulting in your file system becoming a bottleneck for the test. Deliberately underload your generators, reduce your logging levels and watch how you are using memory for correlations so you don't create a physical memory oversubscribed condition which results in high swap activity.</li> </ol> <p>As to the comment above as to JMETER being faster, I have benchmarked both and for very complex code the C based solution for Loadrunner is faster upon execution from iteration to iteration than the Java based solution in JMETER. (method: complex algorithm for creating data files on the fly for upload for batch mortgage processing. p3: 800Mhz. 2GB of RAM. LoadRunner 1.8 million iterations per hour ungoverned for a single user. JMETER, 1.2 million) Once you add in pacing it is the response time of the server which is determinate to both.</p> <p>It should be noted that LoadRunner tracks its internal API time to directly address accusations of the tool influencing the test results. If you open the results set database set (.mdb or Microsoft SQL server instance as appropriate) and take a look at the [event meter] table you will find a reference for "Wasted Time." The definition for wasted time can be found in the LoadRunner documentation.</p>
