In its default configuration, Webware _will_ create and destroy threads
occasionally; it has a "variable thread pool" that attempts to adjust the
number of active threads according to the load.  But you can configure it to
just use a fixed pool of threads by setting the three AppServer.config
options StartServerThreads, MaxServerThreads, and MinServerThreads to the
same number.  In fact, that's what I recommend doing; the variable thread
pool always seemed a bit pointless to me anyway.

I recommend setting those three options to the same value and seeing if your
problem goes away.
