This counter displays the number of threads per second that have been recognized by the CLR; these threads have a corresponding .NET thread object associated with them. These threads are not created by the CLR; they are created outside the CLR but have since run inside the CLR at least once. Only unique threads are tracked; threads with same thread ID re-entering the CLR or recreated after thread exit are not counted twice. This counter is not an average over time; it displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples divided by the duration of the sample interval.
