I'm thinking I should migrate the threading functions into the base class.

1. Thread limiting check
2. Threads list
3. Thread limit var
4. Thread cleanup function
5. App config getter system

input_template = '''
[ping://192.168.0.%s]
hosts = 192.168.0.%s
interval = 30s
runs = 1
'''

inputs = ''

for i in range(1, 201):
    inputs += input_template % (i, i)

f = file('/Users/lmurphey/Desktop/inputs.conf', 'w')
f.write(inputs)
f.close()

1. The current design multi-threads the inputs but not the hosts within a single input
2. I see lots of logs noting that the thread limit was reached. This happens because the input goes over each input and tries to check the thread limit again.

According to #2135, I need to support about 8 inputs per second.

This input was able to handle a thread limit of 200 and was able to keep up with 200 inputs that were set to run every 30 seconds. The memory use is around 37 MB and I am seeing around 900 results per minute (15 per second).
