On Linux environment, sample situation on one of our servers:

Hald threads are unused since 567 days (they're triggered by the 
insertion of new hardware, which never happened on our server) and are 
still there!

On Windows a CTRL-ALT-DEL will show you a lot of useless threads 
activated at power on, and sleeping since then.

OS may decide to swap them off, so that activation may be slower, but 
never to kill them.
