Can’t get past 2542 Threads in Java on 4GB iMac OSX 10.6.3 Snow Leopard (32bit)

by

2542 seems like an arbitrary number:

I shut all programs down except the one terminal window I was running my test from and I got to 2545, that told me it was an arbitrary limit.

To get the number of threads for OSX 10.6.3 you do:

> sysctl kern.num_threads
kern.num_threads: 2560

and

> sysctl kern.num_taskthreads
kern.num_taskthreads: 2560

The 2560 number matches up with the 2542 and 2545 because there are obviously other threads running in the background.
According to the official documentation kern.num_taskthreads can not be adjusted in the desktop version of OSX.
