What do you mean you won't add it? In all the testing I have done, configuring an executor, just so we can configure the number of threads, is actually slower from a throughput perspective. Your really saying that we have to use something that has consistently been slower, just so you don't have to expose maxThreads? 

Come on Remy. Where's the logic in that? So, as we gear up our benchmarking work on SPEC, we won't be able to use the faster solution, just because we won't be able to configure it. 

I think you should rethink your position. It's not exactly helping the company out any. 

Of course, I guess I could start looking at the two implementations and see why the one is faster than the other, and change JBoss Threads so that there is no penalty, but it sure sounds a lot easier to expose one additional attribute for configuration.
