Ah, I see what you mean. Would it be possible to identify and hide these 
auxiliary threads? I can't think of a scenario in which it would be beneficial 
to see them. Aside from that, the regular threads //do// come in the correct 
order right? If I understood you correctly, a new thread creation could be 1) 
actually creating a new thread 2) assigning an existing thread from the thread 
pool to the task. Would it be possible to detect case 2) and treat it as a new 
thread creation?
