Do you think you will have these much thread concurrently up to 1 hour? I don't think so. I have worked in application which processed hundreds of documents, convert them from and to diff. format, generates proper logs in DB and stores specific info also. Then also it finished in seconds.

The thing you should take care about it, code wisely to avoid making too much threads. Instead use a ThreadPool provided by Java, so that same threads can be utilized when needed. that will provide better performance. Also keep synchronization on minimal blocks to avoid bottle necks in your execution.

thanks.
