to incoming requests and one new thread for each incoming connection.

If MAX-THREAD-COUNT is null, a new thread will always be created for
each request.

If MAX-THREAD-COUNT is supplied, the number of request threads is
limited to that.  Furthermore, if MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT is not supplied, an
HTTP 503 will be sent if the thread limit is exceeded.  Otherwise, if
MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT is supplied, it must be greater than MAX-THREAD-COUNT;
in this case, requests are accepted up to MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT, and only
then is HTTP 503 sent.

It is important to note that MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT and the HTTP 503 behavior
described above is racing with the acceptor listen backlog. If we are receiving
requests faster than threads can be spawned and 503 sent, the requests will be
silently rejected by the kernel.

In a load-balanced environment with multiple Hunchentoot servers, it's
reasonable to provide MAX-THREAD-COUNT but leave MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT null.
This will immediately result in HTTP 503 when one server is out of
resources, so the load balancer can try to find another server.

In an environment with a single Hunchentoot server, it's reasonable
to provide both MAX-THREAD-COUNT and a somewhat larger value for
MAX-ACCEPT-COUNT.  This will cause a server that's almost out of
resources to wait a bit; if the server is completely out of resources,
then the reply will be HTTP 503.

This is the default taskmaster implementation for multi-threaded Lisp
implementations."))
