How do I choose between threads and processes?

I'm trying to decide whether to use threads or processes for my application. What should I consider?

You should consider factors like the nature of the tasks, memory usage, and how you want to manage concurrency.

What are the main differences in memory usage between threads and processes?

Threads share the same memory space, making them lightweight, while processes have separate memory spaces, which can be heavier.

Are there any performance implications I should be aware of?

Yes, threads can be faster due to lower overhead, but processes can be more stable since they don't share memory.

Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Use threads for tasks that require frequent communication, like UI updates, and processes for CPU-intensive tasks that can run independently.
