ThreadCount: number of total C++ Thread objects in Thread Store.

UnstartedThread: number of C++ Thread objects marked as unstarted. Recall I mentioned in previous blog, if a user creates a C# Thread object, CLR will create an "unstarted" C++ Thread object. When Thread.Start is called on the C# object, CLR will create an OS thread and remove "unstarted" flag from the C++ Threadobject.

BackgroundThread: number of C++ Threads (and the corresponding OS threads) considered as background. Being background simply means CLR won't wait the thread for shutting down. Threads created explicitly by using System.Threading.Thread.Start are by default foreground threads; whereas threads wandering into CLR from unmanaged world are by default background threads (Rotor: SetupThread in vm/threads.cpp callsSetBackground(TRUE)). However, whether a thread is background could be changed by using IsBackgroundproperty in C# Thread object.

PendingThreads: If an OS thread is created but its ThreadProc hasn't be executed to the place to decrement unstarted counter in Thread Store, the thread is considered to be pending. Number of this type of threads should be quite low.

DeadThreads: Number of C++ Thread objects whose OS threads are already dead but the C++ objectsthemselves are not deleted yet.
