Listening on more than one port happens all within a single JVM, so you get to
share all the system and servlet engine classes, as well as sharing the
dynamically allocated heap space -- the result is MUCH less memory overhead.
On some OS platforms, switching threads in the same process is faster than
switching processes (as would be required if you are running multiple JVMs. If
other apps are running on the same machine, though, this probably won't have
much impact.
