resources are not infinite.

sure but *how* fast they run out is the issue here

Do you really need so many threads?

I might be able to do with a few less but I still need many.

I have done a quick test.

on WinXP I can create 1030 threads
on Fedora Core 6 I can only create 301 (both python2.4 and 2.5)

now the 301 is rather low I'd say.
