Sorry for top-post (degraded client ;)

My understanding - which I guess could be made clearer in tha javadoc
- is that clear is an operation on the *idle instance pool* and does
not affect instances checked out or pending requests (allocation
queue). Therefore, numActive should be unchanged by this operation, as
well as latch status, internal processing count, etc. numIdle(*)
should be zero on completion.
