Akka questions

• Are the number of actors specified/configured in router actor definition bounded by dispatcher config?
  • e.g. if RoundRobinRouter with 5 actors defined within a dispatcher config of max 4 threads with pool size factor of 1, hence max thread of 4, can there only be at most 4 actors? or is the assumption that there's only one actor per thread invalid?
