At work, I am working with a Java program that, when combined with other running processes, takes upi 400 MB :eek: of RAM. Guess how many threads are running.

If you have 30,000 threads then something's REALLY gone wrong. That many will stress the scheduler so much that I'd be surprised if ANYTHING worked. The thread swapover time would take longer than each individual timeslice.

No, 30,000 is actually good. I'm simulating a NASA satellite ground system, a server, and a client ALL on my computer at work. That's a lot of stuff.

Really? And that takes it up to 30,000 threads?

Hmmm....
