Wasn't there also a thread recently about a leak that can be configured away? The usage pattern to invoke the 'leak' was to load the site, then leave it alone, then load it again. It involved the worker thread pool for connections and JMX registration of said threads? The pool thought it was downsizing itself, but in fact it was leaking them away. So if you have lots of up and down loading going on, perhaps you can look into this further.
