The response time is not progressive, it's simply jumping, it's likely since 16 sessions there is a sort of serialization happening somewhere.. As well on 16 sessions the throughput in TPS is near the same as on 8 (response time is only twice bigger for the moment), but on 32 it's dramatically dropping down..
