Hello Maurcion.

What are you trying to achieve with the multiple sessions?
*=> Get some throughput. I have some latent service tasks so want some concurrency.* 
*=> I realise that an alternative would be to make the service tasks async but this option (I thought) would be a little easier.*

I mean, what's the purpose of having multiple sessions?
*=> Without multiple sessions, multiple threads synchronise on kSession methods and activity is not concurrent*

Are you running a process in each of those sessions?.
*=> Yes.* 

When are the threads being called?
=> I have a request queue (specific to my app) which is queried in one scheduler thread.
=> When the scheduler finds a request it hands to a thread from a pool. Each thread in the pool has its own ksession and starts a corresponding process.
(=> If the process hits a timer then it resumes in a session-specific time  thread.)

Does this make sense? 
Thanks for your help!
Richard
