Good rule of thumb for modern kernel and server class hardware : 100's of (native) threads is ok. 1000's will probably be ok. 10's of 1000 is where you will start to see trouble and 100's of 1000 will most likely cause you to pull out your hair. So the comment above about 175 threads being too many is incorrect.
