process scope threads a re perfectly reasonable.. they however
use more resources and are more heavily limitted.


On the other hand process scope threads can lead to nasty surprises with
the limits as they can "suddenly" hit th ekernel limit after running
usccessfully for a time when they all (by some fluke) all decide to
enter the kernel at the same time.

We probably should increase the  limits from 150 and 50 to 
600 and 300 or something.
