For the sake of pitching an analog to go's concurrency model. Hopac is a concurrency library for F# (partly written in C#) delivering an informal implementation of CSP (similar to Go's goroutine and Clojure Core.async). Since the job does nothing but wait for 10 seconds, the code is: seq{1..1000000} |> Seq.Con.iterJobIgnore (fun _ -> timeOutMillis 10000) |> run I'm not sure how to calculate total memory usage but instrumenting the following way: GC.Collect() GC.Collect() GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() GC.TryStartNoGCRegion 3000000000L let before = GC.GetTotalMemory false seq{1..1000000} |> Seq.Con.iterJobIgnore (fun _ -> timeOutMillis 10000) |> run GC.GetTotalMemory false - before |> printfn "%d" GC.EndNoGCRegion() Gives the following output, I'm reading 144MB for 1M lightweight thread (in the REPL) unless I did something dumb: 144449024 Real: 00:00:10.902, CPU: 00:00:18.570, GC gen0: 3, gen1: 3, gen2: 3 val before: int64 = 53902280L
