I think the default minimum is 8 and it seems there are 3 other 'overhead' threads. (if I just start web2py without any thread options, ps shows 11 threads.)
If I do --maxthreads=2, I get 11 threads total. If I do --minthreads=2 --maxthreads=2, I get 5 total (3 + 2?) So, since the default is 8 and I'm setting max to 2, it seems likely that somethings doing: max = min if max < min else max On Jan 19, 3:16 pm, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: > On Jan 19, 2011, at 11:48 AM, ae wrote: > > > > > --maxthreads does nothing if you don't specify --minthreads, so that > > should be fixed one way or another.
