In other words, you only have 5 threads running? That is next to nothing. A process can have several *hundred* threads running simultaneously before you start to have reosurce/memory problems. If you tweak the stack settings for new threads, and the threads don't allocate very much memory/resources, you could potentially even run upwards of 1000+ threads, depending on which OS you are using.
