hmm thanks @emccue but seems that’s more about the server accepting many connections and queuing them - in this case I just want to limit the number of threads being worked on at the same time. (jetty apparently has acceptor, selector and worker threads, and I wanna limit the worker threads specifically).

Really makes me happy to be coding in clojure when you try to figure out these java monsters with insane amounts of xml, inheritance and abstraction for everything
