Aaron Whiteside updated CAMEL-4863:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: camel-threads-vs-seda-testcase.tar.gz

As per http://camel.apache.org/async.html

*Camel 2.4 onwards behavior*
The threads DSL leverages the JDK concurrency framework for multi threading. It can be used to turn a synchronous route into Async. What happens is that from the point forwards from threads the messages is routed asynchronous in a new thread. Camel leverages the asynchronous routing engine, which was re-introduced in Camel 2.4, to continue routing the Exchange asynchronously.

I have attached an example which shows how using threads() DSL seems to result in the route being executed in a single thread from the thread pool and that the initial thread waits for the thread in the thread pool to finish before returning... 

However the example using the seda endpoint is much faster and results in all threads in the thread pool executing the work, without the initiating thread waiting for them to complete.

> Using <threads> I get about 600 requests/per second.
> Using seda endpoint I get about 3000 requests/per second.
> Looking at the thread pools created by Camel in jconsole: I can see that the one created by <threads> is mostly idle as compared to the one created by the seda endpoint which is always busy.
> Also in the MBean Camel creates for it's managed thread pools, for the ThreadPool created by <threads> the TaskQueueSize attribute is almost always 0 and never more than 1. This is in contrast to the TaskQueueSize attribute on ThreadPool created by the seda endpoint which is always 10 (the seda queue size, and obviously until all the tasks have completed).
