OAS JWeb multithreaded

Does anyone know whether it is possible to achieve multi-instance, multi-threaded JWeb Cartridges?

If not, what are the true scaling possibilities for JWeb cartridges?

If the limit on a multi-threaded cartridge is 16 threads (due to unix restrictions) and the reasonable limit on JVM instances on a single server might be 50 i.e. a limit of 50 unix process with a JVM each.

It would appear that the current version of OAS restricts the architect to a single multi-threaded cartridge with only 16 threads i.e. a max of 16 cartridges. The alternative would appear to be single threaded cartridges and create 40 to 50 instances.

If you are trying to build a website which has to handle say 1000 simultaneous hits, is the only alternative to use multiple boxes? or is it possible to have multiple instances of multi-threaded cartridges?
