Threads & New Connections

[Bill Burke]

I don't think you are right.  I've been looking at the NIO code deeply 
the past few days and the set of workers is a fixed array[].  The accept 
thread does a register on a round-robin-picked worker.  If the worker is 
already started, then the accepted socket is added to the worker's 
selector.  If the worker isn't started, then it gets added to the worker 
Executor.

OiO is different though and *does* do a thread-per-connection.
