DedicatedTaskRunner

Why is the org.apache.activemq.UseDedicatedTaskRunner=true property
set in the ActiveMQ startup script? It seems to me that this property
causes issues for many people because of the amount of threads it can
spawn. Can someone explain the idea behind the use of the
DedicatedTaskRunner by default? More and more I am recommending this
property be set to false so I'm curious to discuss it.

in standalone mode, typically using more threads is a good thing since
you will get better performance from the broker since it's avoiding
using thread pools which add overhead.
