> In the ServerContext factory the same thread pool is being used to process I/O 
> and request handling.  This is depleting the thread pool rapidly causing the 
> server to hang under certain conditions.  I caught this bug on a x86_64 machine 
> with multiple cores when the ReferralITest test was hanging.  The right number
> of connections and requests being processed could have caused this issue to
> arrise.  Regardless thankfully the issue appeared and Trustin found the cause 
> for it.
> Trustin tracked the bug down to the way we misconfigured MINA's thread pools.
> He is currently fixing the problem in trunk and I suspect the same issue exists 
> within the 1.0 branch.
> I suspect this could have caused serious issues in performance if not causing
> several load test clients to hang while others had requests processed.  I 
> recommend reassessing performance metrics once again after this fix.  There
> should be a considerable boost.  I think our impression that MINA was a 
> bottleneck may have been attributed to this misconfiguration issue.
> Anyways once Trustin has the fix in trunk I will apply it to the 1.0 branch and 
> make sure all tests pass successfully.  I am assigning this issue to myself
> even though T is providing the fix so I can manage the application on the
> 1.0 branch and document the results.
