A little more information about your load testing would help. For example, if the load testing took several days and consisted for short spurts of activity (say, 100 users for 30 minutes) followed by a period of inactivity (say 30 minutes), then the results you are seeing are very logical. And what was the ConnectionCreatedCount before you started? One other thing to note - if the system is entirely idle, based on your settings, any existing connections will be dropped after 15 minutes, and 5 new connections automatically established. Thus on a system that was active, but then left idling for 24 hours, the ConnectionCreated/DestroyedCount would be incremented by 480 (5 connections * 4 cylces per hour * 24 hours).
