How can I improve threading in my application?

You can improve threading by using thread pools, optimizing task granularity, and minimizing lock contention.

Thread pools manage a collection of worker threads, allowing you to reuse threads for multiple tasks, reducing overhead.

Can you give me an example of using a thread pool in Python?

Sure! You can use the concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor to manage a pool of threads for executing tasks concurrently.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid with threading?

Common pitfalls include deadlocks, race conditions, and excessive context switching. It's important to design carefully.
