Agreed 100%.  There is no "rule of thumb" for active threads, regardless of
what anyone may tell you or what you read on a fantastic blog.  Monitoring
is the ONLY way to know for sure what your performance problem is.

If you find that the CF server is waiting around alot for external calls
(DB, HTTP, etc) causing heavy queuing, then increasing threads might help.

If you find that CF is actively and heavily chugging along on all your
threads and they are just "heavy" then lowering your allowed threads might
help.

Even if you *guess* and change the threadcount, it will be hard to measure
real success of the change without monitoring in place.  Set it up, take a
baseline reading, then start carefully making changes one at a time.
 Measure the difference before/after and eventually you'll know what the
"best" setting is.

Re-evaluate frequently.
