This isn't exactly how CF works, at least not on Windows. The number of threads available for processing CF requests is fixed, and those threads are created when the server starts up. If more requests exist than threads to process them, those requests will be queued until a thread is free. To set the number of worker threads, you change the "Number of simultaneous requests" setting in the CF Administrator.
