Pacing settings of

per command

and

use a combination of think-time and

response-time environment variables. For more information, see the VU Language
Reference and the VB Language Reference.

CPU/User Threshold (ms)

This option specifies the dividing point, in milliseconds (ms), between CPU
processing delays and delays due to user think time. In TestManager reports, delays
that fall below the threshold you specify are considered CPU processing delays.

For example, an actual user might pause to think before selecting a student name
from an SQL database. This delay is recorded as user think time. Once the user clicks
the student name, the time spent generating the SQL command and accessing the
database is a CPU delay.

Typical thresholds range from 0 through 10,000 ms (10 seconds). Valid thresholds
range from 0 through 2,000,000,000 ms (just over 23 days).

If you clear the

CPU/User Threshold (ms)

check box, all delays are considered think-

time delays.

Think Maximum (ms)

Specifies the maximum think-time delay to allow in a script. If you specify a
maximum think-time delay, no think-time delay in the script exceeds the one you
specify. This feature could be useful when a script recording session is interrupted.

You can type a maximum think time or select one from the list. The valid range is
0 through 2,000,000,000 ms (just over 23 days).

If you clear the

Think maximum (ms)

check box, there is no limit to the length of a

think-time delay.
