The process/thread allocation system is supposed to be adaptive to server
load -- its goal is to keep the server going as well as possible.  There is
no way to do that and insist on a specific number of threads on every graceful
restart.  That isn't what a graceful restart means.  In fact, we should
not be generating more than (max threads - current threads) regardless of
whether those threads are old or new server instances.
