Hello,

When creating a lot of Java threads per second linux slows down to a
crawl.  I don't think this happens on NT, probably because NT doesn't
create new threads as fast as Linux does.

Is there a way (setting ?) to solve this problem ?  Rate-limit the number
of threads created ?  The problem occurred on linux 2.2, IBM Java 1.1.8.

Thanks,

							Arnaud

Look, we trade every day out there with hustlers, deal-makers, shysters,
con-men.  That's the way businesses get started.  That's the way this
country was built.
