processorCache for APR connector is unlimited
The Http11Protocol and Http11NioProtocol connectors set processorCache
to 200 by default, which matches the docs ([2]).
The Http11AprProtocol sets it to -1 (unlimited) - is this
intentional/desired or accidental?
This appears to have been introduced in [1] during some refactoring by Mladen.

processorCache was -1 for HTTP APR prior to this. Digging through svn
shows that it has always had an unlimited cache.
AJP (both BIO and APR) uses an unlimited cache (although the docs say 200).
With the polling nature of APR and NIO and also with async connections
it is certainly possible that more processors will be required than
threads. More so with NIO that doesn't simulate blocking while the
request line is read. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that there
will be more than 200 idle processors. 200 seems like a reasonable
default at the moment.
Since the documentation everywhere says the default is 200, I will make
that change shortly along with a better description of what an
appropriate setting is.
