First, let me qualify this by saying I'm not exactly sure how threading is handled by CF on Unix platforms. On Windows, CF creates as many "worker" threads as you specify in the CF Administrator within the setting you mentioned. CF has one thread which acts as a dispatcher to those worker threads. If CF receives more requests than it has threads that aren't busy, those requests are queued. On Windows, at least, this model is supposed to be more efficient than creating threads at runtime as they may be needed.
