I don't think you'll find too much argument that huge threadcounts do not
necessarily add up to brilliant programming. An unfortunate, early design
decision against supporting asynchronous I/O methods like select() and
poll() has locked many Java apps into devoting one thread per connection -
it's taken way too long, but Sun's realization that threads aren't really
free will finally result in async I/O support in JDK1.4. Once there, Java
too will be able to support many sockets per thread.
