Subject: Please help, question regarding threads


I am somewhat new to threaded applications so am hoping someone can help 
give me a little advice.

I am working on a server-oriented application which is threaded, each 
connection to the server creates a new thread and many various custom class 
objects are loaded per thread, some of them containing a very large amount 
of data.

I am worried about scalability, does using class variables for storing the 
data prevent a copy from being produced (loaded) once in each thread? That 
is if the data is stored in class variables within their respective 
objects, is there only one copy in memory that is shared among the various 
threads that are running?

Are there other issues to consider regarding scalibility?

Thank you for whatever help and advice you may offer!
-Andy
