Apache JMeter panel is divided into four sections:
Every collected sample represents the milliseconds taken by the sampling thread to retrieve completely the requested URL. Since Java itself may add significant (and unpredictable due to extreme portability) time contributions, the use of data collected by Apache JMeter may have very little sense if considered absolutely against other URL testers. Apache JMeter was designed as a portable tool to perform relative measures. This means that two sets of samples do not have meaning alone, but compared to one another.
