[ILUG] anyone have any experience of java thread problems on linux ?

[Hunt, Bryan]

An error occured while loading
http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html:

Timeout on server
Timed out while waiting to connect to www.acme.com

..... perhaps if they had a multithreaded server with a seperate lightweight
process 
handling every client request .... :)

The fact of the matter is I hate Java I think it's a load of crap but its
what everyone
uses so I just gotta live with it (I cant wait for mono to port c# with gtk
winforms replacemnent)(hmmm not sure if I mean that or not). Anyway this is
one of those webserver -> 
appserver -> database setups so between them all (when deployed within a
single VM due to performance reasons (EJB local refs) and when pounded with
a couple of hundred client requests it crashes. 

This is why I need zillions of threads.

ok, the thing is: why?  i don't mean to be a pain in asking this, but
the fact is that the most efficient way to do something on unix is not
always the most efficient way to do something on linux and vice versa.
creating that many threads on a unix box is, well, insane.

this document is kind of interesting at looking at a single type of server
(a web server) and comparing performance among various design types:
