Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing thread priority based on object creation rates. Embodiments of the invention provide a thread monitor configured to reduce the execution priority of a thread creating a sufficient number of new objects to be disruptive of system performance. Thus, although the thread may still create a large number of objects, by monitoring object creation rates and reducing the execution priority of such a thread, overall system performance may be improved. In other words, a given thread may still 'misbehave,' but receive fewer opportunities to do so.
