When doing performance- and memory analysis, our AlwaysPreTouch option is very handy for reducing allocation noise. It would be useful to have a similar option for pre-touching thread stacks. In addition to reducing noise, it can serve as a good worst-case test for thread costs, as well as a test for NMT regressions.
