Actually you pointed out something that is on my TODO list for Avalon :P.
The best way I thought was to use a ThreadPool object to manage the
threads. This way you don't have to create threads directly at all and you
can ramp it up if you need perforance. Is this what you have done ? 50
accepts seems unreasonably low. Are you creating a new Thread each time or
grabbing from a pool ?
BTW if you want to adopt these changes you can come jump on the Avalon mail
list to get them enacted :P
Cheers,
Pete
