The number of executing threads is a constant of 3 and stay instant even though more buffers and windows opened from a frame.

Does it limit the thread up to 3?

Emacs is by and large single-threaded, so those 3 threads are most likely auxiliary threads used internally by Gtk, Glib, or some such library used by your Emacs build.
