Thread Pools

Thread pools are a way for computers to efficiently manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Instead of creating a new worker for each task, a thread pool maintains a fixed number of worker threads that are reused to handle tasks as they arrive. This approach reduces the overhead of creating and destroying threads repeatedly, improves performance, and helps manage system resources more effectively. Think of it like a team of workers ready to take on jobs—the pool assigns tasks to available workers, ensuring smooth and coordinated processing without unnecessary delays.
