I think you would mainly need to test how the system behaves, if 
the threads and processes actually do some work in parallel, like:

threadfn() {int i; for (i=0; i<10000000;) {i++}; pthread_exit(0); }

In a good thread implementation 10000 parallel processes tend to get way less 
cpu than 10000 parallel threads, making threads optimal for the very many clients case
(like > 3000).
