locust RPS too low

[lyenliang]

I'm doing load testing with locust on a web site written by my colleagues.

With the above setting, I think when I set

min_wait=100
max_wait=100

the RPS should be 10.(because 1 sec / 0.1 sec = 10)

But the actual RPS is just about 3.5.

Why does this happen? Does this mean that the server respond too slow?

Here's the result of the load testing

I found that this is because the server needs some time to process the request.
