To conserve resources when multiple <Connector> elements are configured.
No point in having a multitude of idle threads when some <Connector>s
are only lightly used or the usage pattern varies with time.

Correct; "class definition" in the previous message meant the loaded
class file, which is qualified by the classloader used.  I should have
made that more clear.

Yes, that's one place where the multiple webapps would be referencing an
indentical class definition.  Anything from the system or bootstrap
class loaders would also suffice.
