No, Hunchentoot currently provides for no control over the number of
threads that it creates.  In multi threaded mode, a new thread is
created for each incoming connection.  There may be limits in
Lispworks and/or Windows that create the apparent limitation that you
observe, but they are not under Hunchentoots control.
