Tomcat does not actually spawn *any* processes -- the entries you see on a
"ps" display are actually threads, all running within a single JVM.
The number of threads that Tomcat starts is dependent on two things:
* The configuration of your <Connector> element. Depending on which
version of Tomcat you are talking about, the details vary -- but in
all cases you can specify the maximum number of request processing
threads that can be created.
* A number of background threads are created to do things like expiring
sessions that have timed out, which you have no control over.
