Why not a thread pool of worker threads that you can take tasks off of a queue or something? I'm working on a communications simulation where the straightforward approach involves creating one thread per node. This thread both generates new messages based on traffic models and listens for messages from other nodes. In some instances, more than one thread per node would prove handy. The network has 15k+ nodes, and therein lies the problem. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
