Nor does that. What are you categorizing as a "lesser thread"? What makes those any more scalable than any other kind of thread? You're free to set the thread pool limit to any value you want, including infinity. Setting the limit to larger than what the logical and physical resources of the system you're running on can handle will induce performance problems (e.g., page thrashing, excessive GCs) or outright failures as soon as someone decides to start pounding on your server. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
