Hi Filip, The reason I want to use more threads is because of the nature of our AJAX client. 'Sleeping' threads on the server seems like a viable option compared to polling, and therefore I'm wondering how many threads to use. Other options include Jetty 6 'Continuation' or equivalents - http://blogs.webtide.com/gregw/2006/07/25/1153845234453.html to handle this problem. I'd prefer to stick with Tomcat if it is scalable with AJAX clients that require a lot of talk between client-server.
