I generally go for around 8 per physical CPU that the server has. ColdFusions threading model is totally different to that of ASP and if your client is used to an ASP environment, 8 threads may seem a little low although it isn't when you consider how the threading model is implemented.
I can't recall the links to the relevant documents right now but I'm sure someone will know.
