Ah, now we're talking. That's the kind of reduction I was looking for :-)
I think the difference in handles is because the threadpool keeps some
things around. As long as it stays at 585 and comes back down after a
second run, we're fine at that - there's no leak.
Attached is an updated version of the patch, currently being tested by
both me and Dave. If it passes our tests, I'll apply this so it gets
included for broader testing in beta2.
