But think about this in the context of a modern 64-bit server environment: what's wrong with keeping these idle thread(s) around? When process space was at a premium, it made sense to trade off a little CPU time rebuilding connections versus chewing up the limited address space; now that the resource limits are essentially gone, you might as well take advantage of it. > It would be better in most cases to have the client re-build a > connection more often, and allow those server children/threads > to take care of other requests in the meantime. An idle thread costs very little (at least in a 64-bit world) - configure more of them. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
