Question : how many threads can I create

A great new feature recently introduced to CF is cfthread.

I have found it a life saver for a number of things, but one question niggles at me.  How many threads can I create?

I am currenlty using cfthread for the generation of SMSs.  I have some code which loops over a subscriber base and sends each an SMS.  The problem I had with large numbers is that that it was taking too long to process, so I put each call to the SMS gateway inside its own cfthread.

I now have a client which is going to send out 3,500 SMSs.  This means that 3.500 threads are going to be created?  Is this too many?  Is this going to kill the server, or will they quite comfortably queue up and be processed without server degredation?

Thanks in advance.
