I am writing a simple multithreaded socketserver and I am wondering how best to handle incoming connections:

create a new thread for each new connection. The number of concurrent threads would be limited and waiting connections limited by specifying a backlog
add all incoming connections into a queue and have a pool of worker threads that process the queue

I am inclined to go for option 2 because I really don't want to refuse any connections, even under high loads, but I am wondering if there are any considerations I should be aware of with accepting effectively unlimited connections?
