I seem to remember that after installing NPTL (Native Posix Thread Library) support a Java virtual machine with all its threads maps to just one linux process, so you would stop seeing that many processes every time
I can confirm this. I run the blackdown jdk, and without NTPL, all threads look like processes. WITH NTPL, all threads are rolled into their process... you can look at them like this:
$ ps xH H - shows you the threads of the process. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
