Thanks Bill I understand you answer. Thank you for that. I was hoping it was different but now that I know what it's doing I'm happier.

There is a one-to-one mapping of socket connections to threads, so setting "maxProcessors" to 20 means that Tomcat will only accept 20 socket connections. This could be from 20 different IPs, or much less if some clients aren't using keep-alive. On the other hand increasing the number of threads doesn't really cost you anything, since the unused ones are blocked until a request comes in. What the "acceptCount" is doing for you is allowing each client to stack up 100 different requests in the queue. I don't know of any client that would even think of trying something like this, which is why it's not that useful.
