My apologies for the late reply, I haven't had the time yet to run some
additional tests.

Tuning the default parameters does make a huge difference: a quick test with
the following values:

servicemix.corePoolSize    = 60
servicemix.maximumPoolSize = 100
servicemix.queueSize       = 256

instead of the default 

servicemix.corePoolSize    = 4
servicemix.maximumPoolSize = 32
servicemix.queueSize       = 256

showed that servicemix obtained a troughput of about 1850 req/s, so that's
an impressive increase in troughput.

My modified values are most likely overkill, but the default values on the
other hand are imho a bit on the low side: when i tried tests with those
values with more than 32 concurrent users, ServiceMix would often lock up,
and refuse to process any requests.

Greetings,
Stein
