Not exactly.

Kernel threads ran without significant pause up until 32K threads, which it
took 55s to get to

Virtual threads ran up to 10K threads in 29s, at which time there was a
SLOW thread start, taking 1.2s from spawn to max stack.  It then ran to 32K
in 51s, which demonstrates that even with the pause it was faster to start
threads. This lines up nicely with the 120ms spawn advantage I measured as
*32K is approx 4s.    It then runs to 43K before a 30s SLOW dispatch just
before it hits max heap.
