Another point that maybe someone could clarify..... as I understand it the way that fixed load works is that it will attempt to maintain the load at the set value within the confines of the min delay wheel on the fixed load component. So basically in order to ensure your load is reached you would set the min delay to zero, to immediately 'top up' your load as soon as it drops below your desired value. So this is what you have set up, apart from the fact that you also have another delay component destroying what you rightly set up in the fixed load component by introducing a full 1 sec delay to every request! I think that's what's happening.
