[comp.sys.isis] Is there a limit...

on the number of tasks that can be active in an ISIS process?

Discussion:

I have a pipeline architecture application where an incoming message
will be broken into perhaps hundreds of "outgoing" messages.  These
"outgoing" messages are for the time being dispatched to another task
in the same process.

I'm tempted to put all of the outgoing messages into a queue, and let
a single, infinite loop task read and process them one by one.  I'm
tempted only because the idea of hundreds of active tasks scares me.

Should I be scared?
