title: JMeter : Constant Throughput Timer not working as expected
body: <p>I have a single Thread Group defined with 200 threads. I have a HTTP Request defined within the thread group and a Constant throughput timer defined within the HTTP Request. The Target throughput (samples/min) defined is 5400 samples/min (Since I want to achieve a throughput of 90 requests/second). </p>
  
  <p>I am running the test in non-GUI mode. This is the summary report I see though:</p>
