You need think time to realistically simlulate what the users will do in an actual Production environment.
But take care not to include think time within transactions as that will mess up your transaction response times when you play this script using the Controller
In a real life situation, users generally do not perform all actions in rapid fire succession. Think time is used in a script to emulate a user taking the time to look at the results of a previous action, etc.
In a web(HTTP/HTML) script, for example, think time can also include time a user views a page, fills out form data, and everything else a user may do before submitting a form or navigating away from the page (via a link or new URL in the address bar)
Also, it is important to note that not all users of an application will have the same think time. Some users will be more advanced then others. As such, time time(s) need to be different among different users. These types of changes to think time can be made in the Run-time Settings.
