4096 are not a real problem - in sense of thread switching overhead. I
tracked down OS/2s thread switching time to below 60ęs on a 486/66.

If all those 4096 thread would use up their CPU time completely and all
reside in the same priority class, every 32ms will be scheduled another
thread. So you can imageine the "visual slowdown" yourself :)
