- 1Slow effects like GC growth, pool exhaustion or throttling
- 2Load tools need 30 minutes to calculate the percentiles
- 3Short tests never produce valid response times
Show the answer
Correct answer: Slow effects like GC growth, pool exhaustion or throttling
Explanation
Some problems need time to build up. A longer steady state also gives more samples for stable high percentiles.
