It doesn't matter what tomcat uses - this should work on other containers
and models as well ( most decent containers are reusing the threads, 
if they don't probably the performance is bad anyway, or they have 
special needs - like small footprint ). 

It's important to just keep in mind that maybe later it should be possible
to "tune" this and use some other mechanisms ( in adition or instead of
the pool ). 

You probaly don't have to do anything right now - pool is a good start.

One collection per webapplication sounds good. Synchronization is not a
big problem right now ( after you 2x the performance it'll be a bit more 
visible ). Keep in mind that a GC is also synchronizing, and object
allocation does a sync() too ( most of the time ).
