You may be confusing threads with requests. Threads are related to java and requests are related to the http protocol.
Threads http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html Requests http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/i18n13.htm Two very different things. I've never like that recommendation from Macromedia/Adobe. 3-5 concurrent requests per processor really ignores the speed and capability of the processors in question. For example, a dual processor P3 machine will naturally have a much lower request limit that it can safely handle versus a dual core zeon processor. It also depends on what the requests are asking CF to do.

The reccomended max thread count is 3 to 5 per processor. So, if you have a dual core processor, the max thread count should be 6-10. You could easily run over this level if you spawn too many threads.

I can create one cfm template that has multiple iframes in it... each iframe would would essentially be a "thread" I want to spawn, right? Furthermore, each iframe would just be another cfm template, but it has code to go do work (in my case, go find the price of a book), and then save the information to a database. When the page is done loading, all the information will be saved to the database AND, supposedly, this would all run faster because each iframe would be doing its work at the same time as the other iframes. Is the logic correct here? Would the iframes really be doing their work at the same time? (Or should I use traditional frames?) Thoughts?
