[Mono-list] Threading and IO problem

[Damien DALY]

Hi,

>From my (bad) memroy, ThreadPool is implemented. There is only a small
difference between default number of thread pool.

By using ThreadPool, you can't have a direct pointer on the launched Thread,
so you will have to deal with other concurency management (Semaphore, mutex,
or other waithandle) to wait for all task to be completed.

I may be wrong, but reading lots of files at the same time, can the hard
drive support the required bandwith ?

Best regards,

Damien
