I'd recommend option 3, and don't worry about the threading issues. If you are hosting this in a servlet container, the container will almost certainly make use of thread pools to optimize the processing of incoming requests and control the number of threads in the application.

Also HTTP/1.1 supports pipeline and reuse of connections for subsequent requests. This reduces the burden on the server for setting up and tearing down connections.
