You'll hate this but.. it rather depends on what you're actually
doing.
Of course the invocations are only to the service() methods. Not the
init() method.
It is request phase object creation that you must concern yourself
with.

You're ignoring what the servlet engine might have to carry for
multiple objects.
Multiple path mappings, multiple copies of init parameters.
Just for starters.
