Hello Grinder Team,
I've been using the tool for the past 1 month & I'm liking it a lot. Few clarifications required from you (Couldn't get any proper information from the internet):
    1. I need to calculate the load time of a login page when, say, 50 users access.  While recording the login page using TCPProxy tool, I see 20 requests made from the client side (including image file request, CSS request, JS request, ASPX page request etc). At the end of the run, how do I calculate the load time of the login page? 
How I'm calculating? (Load time = Sum of Average of each request)To be more precise, I calculate the average of all 20 requests from the 50 users and add these averages to present the load time.
How does the tool work?    Does it initiate the second request only after the response of the first request has come? 

2. In the Properties file, if I set the field grinder.runs = 2, I was under impression  the second run of a thread will happen only after the completion of the first run. But yesterday, I found that was not the case. The second run happens well before the first run gets completed. Is there any way I can make that happen only after the completion of the first run?
3. What is the impact of using "connectionDefaults.useContentEncoding = True" in the beginning of the script? Will that affect the response time in any way? My app using GZIP in the requests and I have to examine all the responses
4. How to make the grinder run for a fixed time? say for 1 hour. I found this somewhere in the internet 3 months ago but now could not track it. 
This is my first ever mail to the mailing list. Please apologize me if I did not adhere to any defined protocol 
Thanks,Chandiran
