I am newbie to MINA. I initially had implemented StreamIOHandler. It seems

Well, you are using Java NIO under the hood. But your StreamIoHandler is
not non-blocking. You will still suffer from the
one-thread-per-connection problem. So, yes, using StreamIoHandler you
lose much of the benefits. E.g. you cannot take advantage of MINA's
codec filters because you have to work with byte streams.
