um, that's what I thought. Was chatting with coworkers today about this too. Their concern was thread use. Threads used in the async gateway are part of the pool in the JRun instance, no? So, if you have a box getting good load, introducing a script that runs in this parallel fashion, this would eat up more threads, eh? So, is it really beneficial? I suppose the answer is, 'it depends', but curious on thoughts on this.
