Thus threadpool will *increase* the number of threads in presence of contention.If you wait long enough after the benchmark (long enough is longer that thread_pool_idle_timeout seconds), the excess threads will disappearit's clear that they disappear after thread_pool_idle_timeout but on a benchmarks running for 120 seconds with 250 connections i expect that thread number also reache while the benchmark is actevily running
Our thread pool tries to keep the number of active (non-waiting) threads the same as thread_pool_size. You can calculate "active count" as (Threadpool_threads - Threadpool_idle_threads) in the "show status" output.
If all queries run lightning fast / never block, active count would be thread_pool_size, and Threadpool_idle_threads will be 0.
Yet, there are different situations where overall number of threads grows, due to contention and/or long running queries. Often, also active count grows somewhat, but we have a mechanism to handle this "oversubscription", so it does not run out of control.
It is well possible that bumping active threads will increase the throughput and decrease the query time in your benchmark. If you like to experiment, the easiest way to do it is to increase thread_pool_size. You may, dependent on the load, also get more active threads by decreasing thread_pool_stall_limit and/or increasing thread_pool_oversubscribe, but I would not recommend this, as it is not really reliably way to achieve more active threads.
As explained before, the situation with "benchmark end", where a lot of threads are created, is probably due to lock contention in concurrent disconnects.
