How would you recommend I do it? Please remember, I have no experience
with pthreads, and any advice you give would be greatly appreciated.
I tried doing a pool of threads created at startup, and I think that may
be a better approach...That would allow tighter control of resource limits
- do something like Apache, have a "maximum number" of processes running.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
