A servlet is just a Java class and can be used statefully or stateless.
(Stateless has been proven to be more scalable, of course.) So, your
concern should be with how much data you are storing in the user's session
(I hope you're not storing data in instance vars), rather than how many
servlets you have.

Interesting question.
I suspect the question comes down to how much memory does a servlet take up.
The servlet is always "running" once it has been initialized, but what are
the memory requirements and does server side garbage collection work its
magic? Our systems use the model 2 approach and tend to use multiple
servlets because we create servlets for specific tasks or specific screens.
We've never had a concern so far, but I'm interested in what the JSP
community thinks.
