to a relatively small number of threads unless it actually has to handle a
large number of requests.
Ok, so if my maxThreads is 1000, at startup there will be 500 threads
created? I thought it just created the number in minSpareThreads and built
on that, no? In the situation we're using Tomcat, there will be a large
number of requests - for about the next week, as students get their grades
- and then things will calm down somewhat. Our system is forever exceeding
maxThreads, and all increasing that attribute does is make the system
exceed it faster. That doesn't seem correct.
