Limiting Threads in a ThreadPool

The ThreadPool class supports methods for setting the number of minimum and maximum thread in the thread pool. In most circumstances, yhe number of threads is the pool is set at optimum numbers. If you find that your application is being constrained by the threads in th thread pool, you can set the limits yourself.
There are two types of situations where you will want to change the thread pool thread limits: thread starvation and startup thread speed.

In thread-starvation scenario, your application is using the thread pool but is being hampared because you have two many work items and you are reaching the maximum number of threads in the pool. To set the high watermark of threads for your application, you can simply use ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads.

In cases where the startup costs of using the thread pool are expensive, increasing the minimum number of threads can improve performance. The minimum number of threads dictates how many threads are created immediately and set to wait for new work to do. Typically, the ThreadPool limits the number of new threads to be created during the running of a process to two per second. If your application need more threads created faster, you can increase this size. Setting minimum numbers of threads can be done by using ThreadPool.SetMinThreads
