Hello Scott,

Thank you for the feedback. It was pointed out by Peter Schober that I
should be using Tomcat6 for my IdP (2.3.6 is what I am using
now). When I first installed the IdP, I used version 2.1.5, and
obtained Tomcat5 for that purpose.

So I will go back to 2.1.5 and see whether Jmeter performs any
differently.  I don't really want to risk changing Tomcat right now if
I can help it (time constraints).

I am hoping someone with Jmeter experience will be able to offer and
opinion as well some time, but I'll report what happens with with IdP
2.1.5 in the meantime.

Best regards,
