EAServer pools and reuses component instances to avoid the overhead of creating and destroying instances. EAServer 4.1.1 provides named instance pools to provide more administrative control over how components are pooled. This feature allows you to control the number of component instances that EAServer creates for a set of components. Instance pools provide a mechanism to control the memory used to pool component instances. For example, you can provide a larger instance pool to heavily used components. For more information, see “Named instance pools” in Chapter 3, “Component Tuning,” in the EAServer Performance and Tuning Guide.
