I often hear about how lightweighted linux processes and thus threads
(based on clone) are. However I have not heard of how many it can easily
handle, or even of a maximum number. More precisely, I am thinking of
designing a GUI library that could use one thread per window. It is safe
to say that an average application could have 100 windows, so that an
average system could easily have 1000 windows totalling 1000 threads.
Can the linux kernel cope with thousands of threads?
