It sounds like your clients are hitting omniNames really hard. What kind
of usage pattern and naming structure do you have?  How many names do
you have in each naming context?

In thread pool mode, the pool size places an upper bound on the number
of threads, and calls are spread between the threads, even if you have
more network connections than threads; in thread per connection mode,
each network connection gets its own thread, so you always have at least
as many threads as connections. Since you were running out of threads,
thread pool mode is better for you. If you find you need a large number
of threads in the pool, then that isn't a particular problem. Just pick
a number that's a fair bit smaller than the limit of the total threads a
process can have.

Cheers,

Duncan.
