For small to medium sized applications on systems like Windows or Solaris the default value is reasonable (which is why it is the default). For Linux systems with newer kernals, this should be alright as well. On these systems the cost is fairly low to have lots of threads blocking on i/o. It is Linux systems with older kernals that cause problems. Also if you are using the APR or (experimental) NIO AJP connector it should be fine on most o/s, since there is no relation between the number of connections and the number of threads. If there isn't a firewall between Apache/IIS and Tomcat I would set it to be pretty high on well-behaved systems (at least 5min for a medium sized app). If there is a firewall, then it should be probably slightly less than the firewall setting to close idle connections.
