Of course there is. Handles are only 32 bits after all.
Use what you need, but keep it to a minimum.
Be nice to the OS and the other Applications trying to run on it.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Delt, and go to the Processes Tab. Everything you see
there is probably currently waiting on an event.
You should see your threads there too if they're running (or left
running when the app terminated).
