Actually a different kind of thread pool is used for send-off. It is a cached thread pool obtained from Executors.newCachedThreadPool(), while send uses a thread pool obtained from Executors.newFixedThreadPool(). With send-off, your action may have to wait for thread creation (but not if a thread is available in the cache), but will not have to wait for a thread to complete another action. With send, you don't wait for thread creation, but you may have to wait for a thread to be free (if all threads in the fixed pool are busy with other actions). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
