What is the impact of using threads on application performance?

Using threads can significantly improve application performance by allowing concurrent execution, which utilizes CPU resources more efficiently.

Are there any downsides to using threads?

Yes, while threads can enhance performance, they also introduce complexity such as race conditions and increased difficulty in debugging.

How do I decide when to use threads in my application?

Consider using threads when your application has tasks that can run independently and benefit from parallel execution, like I/O operations.

Can you give an example of a scenario where threads improve performance?

Sure! A web server handling multiple requests can use threads to process each request simultaneously, improving response time.
