Here are statistics that I gathered. I'm almost done modifying the program to use 1 timer thread instead of 1 per bot as well as writing to the socket from the writer thread. This should reduce the number of threads from 6k (2k x 3) to 2k plus change.
It appears that +RTS -k3k does make a difference. As per Simon, 2-4k avoids the thread being garbage collected because each thread gets its own block in the storage manager. Simon, did I get that right?
The 3k threads are still GC'd, but they are not actually *copied* during GC. It'll increase the memory overhead per thread from 2k (1k * 2 for copying) to 4k (4k block, no overhead for copying). Cheers, Simon
