Firstly using threads doesn't quicken anything up unless you have multiple processors or cores. If anything it makes things slightly slower because of the cost of managing threads - in particular 'context switches' between threads. The only good reason to use them in a GUI application is to prevent the GUI from freezing whilst a long running or processor intensive operation is running in the background. If that's what you're really worried about then I'd check out the BackgroundWorker class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.backgroundworker.aspx
