If this is your requirement, I would consider building the plugins around a BlockingCollection.
I have seen it done both ways. What gets ugly with one thread per plugin is this- you start to rely on the idea that "only one thread ever touches my plugin", and then someone makes a mistake where one plugin's thread goes and touches some other plugin (though convoluted event handling or something similar). Then you end up with very hard-to-track race conditions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
