I am running multiple webapps on Tomcat 7, and I’ve noticed that when shutting 
down Tomcat, the ContextListeners are called in serial, instead of in parallel. 
Some of these webapps take 5-15 seconds to run various shutdown procedures. 
This can exceed the timeout period for shutting down, which means that the 
orderly shutdown process can be skipped when there are more then 5 or 6 webapps.

I know one solution for this problem is to increase the shutdown timeout. 
However, is there a good reason to shutdown contexts in serial, rather than in 
parallel? That would solve the problem and prevent lengthy shutdowns, which in 
turn would reduce downtime for maintenance.
