Benchmarks for threads might slightly underestimate memory usage. For threads, some amount of memory is spent by the kernel (eg, memory maps themselves) and won’t show as maxrss. > a high number of concurrent tasks can consume a significant amount of memory, So Go needs 3gigs for a million tasks. Relatively speaking, for an app that does a million concurrent somethings, 3gb is probably peanuts. It seems that memory isn’t the limiting factor here.
