What is the highest number of threads that is reasonable to simultaneously run in Jmeter?

Question

I want to use the highest possible number of threads (to use less computers) but without making the bottleneck to be in the client.

Answer 1

The JMeter Wiki reports cases where JMeter was used with as much as 1000 threads. I have used it with at most 100 threads, but the Links in the Wiki suggest resource reductions I never tried.
