Abstract
Threading and performance are two topics that are often closely related. The motivation for employing multiple threads in a program typically originates from two distinct origins: the need to keep the user interface of an application responsive while a lengthy task is being performed in the background, which is a problem usually experienced in client-side applications, and the need to service multiple requests at the same time, which is a requirement commonly experienced in server-side applications.
