If you're on a windows box you can see how many threads are currently up and 
running. My single core Athlon, which doesnt actualy have much going on, is 
clocking up 370 threads.

I imagine that newer more busy PCs are running 2 or 3 times as many.

That said.. this is system wide. I dont know if the OS will partition 
threads, so any particular process can only see it's threads, and a few OS 
threads.

I dont know how it works.
