More urban myth.  As another respondent pointed out, all modern JVMs
(i.e., from JRE 1.2 on) use native threads and the underlying OS for
thread dispatching.  Coupled with thread-local object allocation
(available since JRE 1.3), scaling of Tomcat itself is not a problem; it
runs happily on our 32-CPU servers as long as the applications
themselves have no inherent bottlenecks.  You do want to adjust the heap
parameters for any serious work, especially on a Windows platform, where
the default maximum borders on the miniscule.
