Hi,
Cutting off the response might have a positive effect, but the server will still produce the entire response, and it will still all be sent over the network. If you don't have any assertions at all in your requests, this should be possible, but it's hard to say what effect it will have on your results.. hmm.. I see what you are getting at though, we could add an "ignore response" setting, but on the other hand often it can be good to have functional validations in place during loadtests, since functionality might stop working as desired when the server gets overloaded (due to threading, deadlocks, etc..)
regards!
