Well, this does not answer your question directly and is not related
to the kernel but I want to suggest something.

I have been using the Go programming language from Google for a few
days and it allows you to spawn goroutines, which are similar to
threads. But the underlying implementation does not create an OS
thread for each go routine. As a result, your application can have
thousands of goroutines. This model of threading was implemented so
that thread space is not exhausted. You can consider using Go (or any
other such lightweight threading library) if you need a lot of
threads.

Sorry if it is not useful.
