创建线程的空间开销

创建线程是一件非常消耗资源的事情。下面的C#代码可以得到创建一个线程的空间开销：

private static void DumyTask()
{
    Thread.CurrentThread.Suspend();
}

private static long GetMemoryUsageInKB()
{
    int oneKB = 1024;

    long memorySize = Process.GetCurrentProcess().VirtualMemorySize64;

    return memorySize / oneKB;
}

private static void Main(string[] args)
{
    long memoryBefore = GetMemoryUsageInKB();

    int threadNumber = 100;
    for (int i = 0; i < threadNumber; ++i)
    {
        Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DumyTask));
        thread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Lowest;
        thread.Start();

        long currentMemory = GetMemoryUsageInKB();
        Console.WriteLine("Memory when {0} threads created: {1} Kb", i + 1, currentMemory);
    }

    long memoryAfter = GetMemoryUsageInKB();

    long memoryPerThread = (memoryAfter - memoryBefore) / threadNumber;
    Console.WriteLine("Memory usage per thread: {0} KB", memoryPerThread);
}

运行上述代码，将会发现穿件一个线程的开销大概是1314KB，超过1MB。
