The Reference Handler thread is internal to the JVM; it doesn't belong to Tomcat. It's responsibility is to take care of objects that garbage collection has found to be unreachable other than via some form of Reference object (e.g., SoftReference, WeakReference). Completely ignorable. > What do you think about these numbers ?
