the only (small) overhead is associated to truly detached (PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED) threads, but the more important usage is when a thread is created and joined, with some status code passed along. And even in the PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED case, most usages just never terminate the thread. So the high-frequency thread creation/destruction always happens via some sort of joining method.
