It doesn't matter. I didn't say that the threading model was the same. I
said that the way to find out the correct value for the "simultaneous
requests" setting is the same.

The tuning methodology relies on external testing. You run the test, you
change the value, you rerun the test, and so on until you've gone through
your range of values. It doesn't matter what those values represent; you're
looking at throughput and response time. If you asked me, "what should the
value of N be for my server", I can determine the optimal answer without
even knowing what N represents.
