I'm not really sure what does this statement mean (I'm not familiar with Jserv). But in servlet concept, it never creates duplicate instant (to handle multiple request or whatever). This is advantage of servlet over cgi concept (that usually create a new process to handle a request). I think that document try to describe something about "how can it handle request in SingleThreadModel" (I think it try to show that instance of SingleThreadModel servlet is in pool if it's available and if some request it, it's picked out of pool and another request has to wait until the first request finish and release that servlet to pool before the second request can execute) .... don't trust me completely, I just guess.
