I'm noticing a lot of short lived threads getting created. They seem to be created ConnectionValidator. Is there anyway we can get it to use a thread pool or otherwise limit the number of threads it creates and destroys? While I can't prove it (yet), I'm assuming this large amount of threads that are created and quickly destroyed will have a detrimental effect on my overall VM's performance. What is this used for? Is there anyway I can disable it? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3960146#...
