java process question

[Pete Wright <pe...@blackhammer.com>]

Hey all,
    I've got apache 1.3.19 running with tomcat 3.2.1 on debian/gnu linux

(potato).  everything went great with the install!

ok got a quick question here tho, i start tomcat then do a ps -A to make

sure it's running and notice that i have *a*lot* of java process'
running (47 to be exact).  now i'm pretty sure that each one of these is
not a
whole new process that's started, i assume it's threads listening for
requests.   this is the output from a 'ps -aux' for each of those 47
instances:

/usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java
-Dtomcat.home=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/dist/tomcat/bin/..
org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat

this is for a development machine that's pretty
underpowered so obviously i'd love the conserve resources.  should i
even worry about all that java stuff?

thanks in advance!

pete

yea i thought they were threads.  i suppose my question was if all 47 were necc. and if not could i lower
the amount of them.

I think they're threads, but if you have low power machines, mayhap you should not use servlets at all?
