Perhaps many of those 350 threads were allocated, but not actually serving requests. > Currently, the heap size max and min is 768MB. Should I > increase the heap size when I increase the maxThreads? There's no particular reason to increase the heap size when increasing maxThreads. Threads themselves take a tiny bit of memory, but that shouldn't concern you. If each request uses a lot of memory, then you will want to increase the heap accordingly. If you're getting away with 500 threads and a sub-gigabyte heap, I think you're doing fine (of course, I know nothing else about your setup!). Are you concerned that the number of threads drops? If you want to make sure that you have some threads laying around ready to process a sudden surge of traffic, try setting the minSpareThreads attribute on your <Connector>. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklFJrcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBcSwCfXaXZfdODO1Xt1uCjQTy+KW4B gf0AoKb0yC/Q8K/yQ7k9g9Eeys4xliJN =Z/+i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
