Threads are a necessary evil when dealing with blocking function calls, but evil they remain. I would generally *not* associate a thread for each parallel context but work with a limited thread pool, whose size is independent of the number of contexts. Often, a good rule of thumb is to have two threads per CPU core to get most out of the hardware. Since you talked about forking, you might be better served with a pool of processes instead of threads since processes have less surprising semantics and, if push came to shove, you can kill them with a signal.
