The default minimum is 10 (set in Rocket). I think you're seeing the main thread plus the 10 worker threads. > > If I do --maxthreads=2, I get 11 threads total. That sounds normal, because minthreads (defaulting to 10) is still in effect. I could see it being otherwise, but it doesn't bother me much. One problem is that web2py doesn't officially know what Rocket's defaults are. > > If I do --minthreads=2 --maxthreads=2, I get 5 total (3 + 2?) I'm not sure where the 5 would be coming from; I'd expect 3 (main plus two workers). > > So, since the default is 8 and I'm setting max to 2, it seems likely > that somethings doing: max = min if max < min else max
