I wonder if using large numbers of concurrent threads is helping performance regarding web sites/apps in any case. If a server is processing 100 pages that all take the same time to deliver a limited queue would improve performance because the pages that have finished would be delivered in batches of 10 - i.e. they would already be available to the user. With 100 concurrent threads all users would have to wait until all threads have finished working. So unlimited concurrent threads would not always guarantee better performance. Well, this is just what's been spinning in my head - it's late around here so correct me if I'm completely off.
