// Mini-benchmark for creating a lot of threads.
//
// Some facts:
// a) clang -O1 takes <15ms to start N=500 threads,
// consuming ~4MB more RAM than N=1.
// b) clang -O1 -ftsan takes ~26s to start N=500 threads,
// eats 5GB more RAM than N=1 (which is somewhat expected but still a lot)
// but then it consumes ~4GB of extra memory when the threads shut down!
// (definitely not in the barrier_wait interceptor)
// Also, it takes 26s to run with N=500 vs just 1.1s to run with N=1.
