1. A computer-implemented method for controlling throughput of a high-volume throughput-centric computer system, comprising: dynamically adjusting a concurrency level of a plurality of events being processed in a computer system to meet a predetermined target for utilization of one or more resources of a computer system, said predetermined target being less than 100% utilization of said one or more resources; validating said adjusted concurrency level using one or more queuing models to check that said predetermined target is being met; configuring parameters used for adjusting the concurrency level, said parameters configured so that said one or more resources are shared with one or more external programs; measuring performance of said computer system using a statistical algorithm that minimizes total number of samples collected, said measured performance used to further dynamically adjust the concurrency level; and revising a number of events processed by a thread and sleep time for the thread to enhance said dynamically adjusting step.
