Howdy, The value of maxProcessors that's best for you is determined by your own applications and traffic profile. There's no such thing is a general best setting.
The best you can do it determine what your traffic profile is, including peak and peak concurrent accesses, and see how many request processors you need to support that. Then conduct your own stress tests to verify the configuration holds together. There are many tools out there to support this kind of design and testing: wget, JMeter, LoadRunner, etc etc. There have been discussions on this list in the past regarding these tools and their use, so searching the list archives may yield more information. In addition, you may find non tomcat-specific book, eg. O'Reilly's web performance tuning (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webpt2/) helpful.
