Servlet engines can crash, so if you service all your users in a single
engine and one user does something that crashes the engine then all your
servlet users go down. That's not any better than crashing the web server
itself.
If a single engine is used for each user and the engines start up and shut
down dynamically then you can tolerate an engine crash and conserve the
machine's resources as well.
