One Nginx worker , typically single thread, can handle thousands of request
by non-blocking events.  So we need less Nginx workers than the threads in a
 typical java server.  

Java thread is  not lightweight and  uses more memory than general  thread.

I don't think JVM is  blocking vm. In my eye JVM just a executor of java
class. By JNI we can any no-blocking things just as a general Nginx modula
written by c.

With the default mode in Nginx-Clojure 0.1.0 there 's one jvm instance embed
per Nginx worker. The will be some  no-blocking api provided by the next
version of Nginx-Clojure.

With Nginx-Clojure 0.1.0 you can also use one JVM instance with a thread
pool if you like, just set nginx worker processes = 1 and set jvm_workers =
the number of java threads you will use.
