That is the point. You inprint in your implementation following algorithm of idle threads management:
1. Minimum number of threads m1.
2. Maximum number of threads m2.
3. If thread is older t1 -> destroy.
4. If need more thread - create one.

Are you sure  that this model wil fit for any possible usage of thread pool. What if I do not want to destroy my threads ever during program lifetime of vice vesa immidiatelly when returned to pool? What if I just want support some ballance between amount of used threads at the moment and amoumt of idle ones? What if I want ballance parameters to change depend of time of the day or load of the server? And so on.

I would prefer provide a solution that allows more flexibility.

Gennadiy.
