Not correct.

Linux threads are very much like processess, but linux scheduler is
O(1) and processeses are verrry lightweight.

I don't have experience with 10k concurrent connections w/ Linux thread
per connection, but 500-600 I do. Processor load goes as high as 1-2%
on 500 connections to DC hub and I've used three threads per
connection. Up to 15000 context switches per second and no sweat on P4
2.4 w/ 1GB.
