Brad,

By using the term "thread" are you thinking that I mean one of the HTTP
Server BCI Jobs?  That's not what I mean.  Although each HTTP Server thread
may interface with one BCI Job.

To see what I mean, use WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR), then key 12 in the input
field next to the HTTP Server's BCH Job.  That will enable you to work with
the HTTP Server threads.

If you simultaneously monitor those threads in conjunction with the NETSTAT
*CNN screen, while users are hitting the site, it will become clear to you
that each user holds a lock on multiple threads during their visit.

To further illustrate, use the CHGHTTPA command to set threads to a low
value, while attempting to use multiple instances of Internet Explorer to
access the site.  The site will lock up and the browser will show nothing
more than the hour glass pointer.  On average, each user needs 2-3 threads.

By multiple instances of Internet Explorer, I mean starting a new instance
from the desktop, not a new window launched from the currently running
instance.  It a fairly good way to simulate multiple users.
