I think parent is saying overcommit with OS threads. 4k requests = 4k OS threads. That would lead to the problems parent is talking about.

Why wouldn't 4k virtual threads lead to the same problems?

Because they don't create 4k real threads, and can be scheduled on n=CPU Cores OS threads

4k "real" threads can also be scheduled on 4 CPU cores. What's the difference?
