jobExecutor threads

I have another newbie question. If I have a timer that is set to go off at a certain time and I have 100 instances of a workflow, how many threads would be started to handle those jobs? Would it be 100? If so is there a way to throttle it so only 10 threads could be running at any 1 time? This means

There is a default size of the threadpool for job executors.
I also believe there is an undocumented setting for changing that size, but I can't directly find it.
But it's already asked on the forum in the past, so maybe the seach can help there.

I do not think it is configurable from what I remember

Open Source is awesome. Looking into the code, the max number of threads in the pool is 10 by default. So by default it is doing what I wanted. I do think I could set the number of threads in my Spring configuration by creating a JobExecutor bean, set maxPoolSize on it. Then set the JobExecutor on the SpringProcessEngineConfiguration and then it could be anything I wanted it to be.

Thanks,
