Chapter 14. Thread Performance
In a few places in this book, we've referred to
performance characteristics of thread-related programming.
We've glossed over a lot of that information; in
this chapter, we'll look at these performance issues
in more depth. In particular, we'll look at thread
creation performance, the performance advantages of using a thread
pool, and the real costs of synchronization. However,
we'll start with an overview of factors that affect
Java performance.
