Guidelines for setting Tomcat's maxProcessors parameter?

I've been googling around for some guidelines for setting the number of request-processing threads on a Tomcat site. So far, I've found nothing. FreeRoller had been set for 75 threads, but it seems to run out at that level. Does this by itself indicate a problem or is 75 threads too low for a relatively high volume blog site like FreeRoller?

Dave, It appears someone has created a test and tomcat hangs after 1500+ threads. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=tomcat+%2B+threads&start=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&c2coff=1&selm=ZRXSa.1214%24F9.7266%40newscontent-01.sprint.ca&rnum=15 Im assuming thread pools are being used. Is that true?
