Describe the issue: 

keepalive-time should be removed as it is not actually used, as the thread pool created sets core threads = max threads, thus the max-threads is the max # of threads but effectively the # of threads, meaning the threads pool will create threads a thread on every request until it reaches max and then remain there.  Even if there is only 1 concurrent client such that there are free threads in the pool, it will still create them until hitting max.
