Marc Jacob’s has a developer centric blog and has recently posted a fairly high level article on the four reasons that you should be multithreading your applications. The focus of the article is an observation that many developers he’s worked with over the years are adding threading to their projects without full consideration or the concept of *why* threading would be helpful.

The four subsections of the article are:

1. Keep a Process Responsive
2. Keep a Processor Busy
3. Keep Multiple Processors Busy
4. Simplify Coding of Cooperating Tasks
