Re: Agreed
There is a well-known and widely used solution to this problem: thread pools at the userland level. Your threading library hands out fake threads that map to a smaller number of OS-supported threads. The fake thread may use a different real thread at different activations. This works because the threads usually sleep most of the time anyway if they have been spawned for communications purposes, and it is easier to dynamically allocate the required data for a large number of threads at userland level, than in the kernel.
