Thread speed and cores hogging

Jacky Luk
When I start 12 threads simultanously in my core i5 750 system, all 4 cores are fully loaded 100%. Is it possible to bring it down? and also how do I control the execution speed of those threads?
Thanks
Jack

Setting thread priority alone won't help much because even low priority thread will use 100% of cpu time if no other threads are active.

Why does Thread class not support IDisposable? It's creating quite some problem. Namely, it can exhaust the resource and you have not control over it.
