Hello div0,

The rule of thumb is don't bother spawning more threads than you
have cpus. You're just wasting resources mostly.

You REALLY don't want more threads trying to run than you have cores.
Threads in a wait state, are less of an issue, but they still use up
resources.

I think you're going a bit far there.

In what way?

And In re-reading my post, I noticed it can be read it two ways. The way I intended it, is as a "yes and" statement: while often there is little to be gained by having more threads than cpus/cores, there is almost always nothing to be gained by having more thread trying to do stuff at the same time than you have cpus/cores to run them on.
