Description
**pierre.astruc** ([Bug 63730](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=63730&redirect=false)):
Hello all,
I have one optimisation suggestion about the number of /tmp/SerialisedSampleSenderXXXXXX.ser files created during one test.
In the simple situation of one master with jmeter GUI + one slave server with jmeter-server, I sometime use more than one listener to have quick graphs. (I know it’s not recommended, but it works fine with simple test :)
To reproduce the issue, create one simple test plan with one URL, and add 6 listener (for example jp@gc graph plugins - https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/ResponseTimesOverTime)
When you remote run this Test Plan with mode=StrippedDiskStore, you will see one SerialisedSampleSender file for each listener:
l /tmp/ -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender2820299025417446920.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender3467716893946119156.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender537889715080696791.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender5430064167002869825.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender7709666792947386220.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender8012499479851562653.ser
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.4M Sep 5 17:03 SerialisedSampleSender8166392983179754462.ser
When the test is finished, each of the 6 files are transmitted from slave to the master by network, so each listener can do his graphs.
The problem here is when I check the content of each files: they are identical ! those files have the same data inside each of them !
I think this could be optimized, because the 6 listeners could read the same "SerializedSampleSender" file content.
If we manage to code this, this would divide by 6 the network usage between slave to master with the same result :)
Thanks for reading !
