Hi Ryan,
Your example fails to take into account the cost of swapping
threads in and out of swap space. You're simulating databases running a
query and going to sleep forever, which is not realistic. I'm thinking
of something along the lines of databases running a query every X
seconds where X is a random value from 15 to 30 seconds. The cost of
swapping threads in and out of swap is a lot more expensive than the use
of a thread pool in this case.

I just ran a test then...
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(100000000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}).start();
}
}
Windows Task Manager reports memory at 50,476K
Swap space rose by 70MB.
I mean, it is a little high for a program that does nothing, but it
isn't 1GB!

he is still limited to 32k threads and a whopping 16GB of memory gets
used. You never even more memory to keep the heap around.
