jdb creates a ThreadStartRequest and ThreadDeathRequest so it can track all created threads. It creates them with the SUSPEND_ALL policy. This is unnecessary since jdb always immediately resumes all threads after doing the thread bookkeeping. There is no interaction with the jdb user like there would be with something like a Breakpoint event, and therefore no reason to suspend.
I was debugging an app that does nothing except create threads and allow them to quickly exit. Changing the policy to SUSPEND_NONE sped up the execution of the app by about 100x (that's 100 times faster, not 100%).
