Also, more threads will load the OS scheduler more. If they're idle it isn't as bad as if they're active, but it will/may consume time depending on the scheduling algorythm.
Even if a 'pool' imposes an upper limit and blocks until GC happens, well, yeah that'd work, but the finalizer call is a non-deterministic event. Non-deterministic software can be entertaining, but it's not something I want to base an enterprise infrastructure on.

According to what I've read from various sources (http://www.kerneltrap.org, assorted Ingo Molnar interviews, etc), the cost of thread creation on Linux is comparable to that of process creation. I am not a big Linux C developer at the moment, but I was under the impression that process creation on Linux wasn't very expensive.
