I don't think there is a problem per se. The idle worker threads hold a reference to the last VCL they used when they sleep, so until you have exercised all your threads during peak-load, you may have old VCL's linger around. Not optimal obviously, but you would have to load a lot of VCL's for it to become a problem.
