The table on that web page is a good listing of all the threads in
Java 3D 1.1. In general in 1.1, the threads that are created are
coupled to their functional areas. So there is a thread for Behavior
Scheduling, Collision, Input Devices, Scene Graph Traversal for state
updates, and Rendering. In 1.1, the threads are created when a View
becomes "active", but are only run when they have something to do.
So, for instance, the Traverser thread only runs when something in
the scene graph changes. Most threads in the system are allowed to
run is parallel with all other threads. We use default priorities
for all of our threads.
All of this information is based on the 1.1.* versions of Java 3D.
This will change in 1.2. We will more tightly control our thread
scheduling and resources.
If you have any more specific questions, just ask.
