I have to admit I am not a kernel guru. However, Linux really does have threads that are a lighter weight implementation than processes. You might want to refer to:

However I think it was also the case that the memory used is shared, so if you show twelve java processes using 64MB apiece, it's really only 64MB being used. Would be thrilled to hear a more authoritative answer however.

If this totally freaks you out, switch to green threads. George Sexton MH Software, Inc.

I have JDK1.2.2 working fine, but when I upgrade to JDK1.3 or JDK1.4 Tomcat starts spewing out processes and chews up all my memory (as seen by running "ps -ef | grep java" command), so I'm wondering if anyone is using this combination successfully.
