The point is (i think) and I've tested this myself is that even though a thread completes processing it does not self terminate in a timely fashion thus your thread queue maxes out.
I think we both talking about set and forget threads where you really don't want the result of a thread back. You just want to execute a tracking query in the DB and do not care about the result or some other such thing. This may not be best practice, although I've seen a blog post or two about do this. There does not seem to be a programmatic way to terminate the thread, you just have to wait for it to die.
