So, would a ThreadPool assigned as worker threads for a Timer be the
"correct solution" for this? This of course leaves the issue of
pool sizing, but I think in most cases it shouldn't be too hard to
find some ballpark figure; 10, 50, ... . Still much less than the
4500 or so that the OP started with.
