What are the benefits of using a thread pool over creating new threads?

Using a thread pool can improve performance by reusing existing threads, reducing the overhead of thread creation.

Can you explain the overhead involved in creating new threads?

Creating new threads involves allocating memory and resources, which can be time-consuming and lead to performance bottlenecks.

Are there any scenarios where creating new threads is better?

Yes, for short-lived tasks where the overhead of managing a thread pool isn't justified, creating new threads can be more efficient.

How does a thread pool manage its threads?

A thread pool maintains a set of worker threads that can be reused for multiple tasks, managing their lifecycle and workload efficiently.
