So, if my intuition based on these observations is right, the problem with just using threadCount directly is that it uses ALL threads that are available at once in some cases, and doesn't leave anything free.

Funny, I was considering the exact same. https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProd ... ment-46821

So we should probably just reserve threads so we aren't deadlocking the kernel. This is likely a subtlety of any threading model because I've seen the same kind of thing with pthreads on Linux.
