Another cost of threads can be memory allocated as thread stack space, 
the default size of which varies by OS (see e.g. 
https://ariadne.space/2021/06/25/understanding-thread-stack-sizes-and-how-alpine-is-different/).

threading.stack_size() can be used to check and perhaps adjust the 
allocation size.
