Effective use of thread pool in server + client setup

["이희승 (Trustin Lee)"]

When you construct a ChannelFactory, always specify 
Executors.newCachedThreadPoolExecutor().  You can create a single 
cachedThreadPoolExecutor and specify it many times.

Netty will pull as many threads as it needs then.  With NIO transport, 
you can specify the maximum number of I/O worker threads so that the 
cachedThreadPool never explodes with too many threads.
