Creating a thread is a pretty heavy operation, so I would imagine that created threads would be kept in the pool for a while. > And is there a "minThread" setting, or is that automatically 1, the one > thread listening for new requests ?

That's usually closer to the memory used by the whole JVM, not that one thread. > And if 3 requests were to come in very rapidly, resulting in 3 new > threads being started, would each of these threads really require "250m" > bytes in order to run ? No. Much of the memory showing there is shared (the heap, for instance, is global, not local to a particular thread). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkaBqcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBmGwCfeCE4bHIE8+vvNdZkSCJUrfFR 9uEAnRe7XixeICBPdwKy+tRk9u2XWK/U =Es6F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
