title: Jmeter execution queries
body: <p>I have recently started using Jmeter and facing some issues. Initially I was using VSTS.</p>
  
  <p>I have a JMX where I have recorded and configured a Use case which has 5 steps. Logically all the steps(controllers) should execute sequentially. Also I am using two slaves.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>When I execute a 100 Thread test using 2 slaves the controllers don't execute sequentially. Step 1 will first execute 200 times and then step 2 and so on. How can i configure Jmeter to execute the controllers  sequentially?</p></li>
  <li><p>When I execute the test the response time is high but the Perfmon shows no rise in CPU which is quite contradictory. I executed the same test with VSTS and i got the CPU graph proper. Am i missing any configuration in Jmeter?</p></li>
  <li><p>I executed a load test in Jmeter and VSTS . The use cases and test model was same in both the tools.
  The results were compared and there is lot of difference among the readings between the 2. For example: Hits are high in Jmeter than in VSTS, average response time is much lower in Jmeter when compared to VSTS. I was not able to derive the behaviour.</p></li>
  <li><p>What is the role of slaves in Jmeter?</p></li>
