When the Company of the Ring are being pursued in the Mines of Moria, Gandalf at one point states that he must rest, even if all the Orcs ever spawned are pursuing us (or words to that effect). Just thought I`d mention this, as it echoes Galadrielle`s comments a few posts back.

I seem to remember reading some of JRR`s thoughts, probably in HoME somewhere, that female Orcs were kept in harems and only the most powerful warriors were allowed access to them.
