1. Why are multiple threads useful in your web server – as opposed to serving all clients with a single thread in a single process? (Check all that apply.)

Why are multiple threads useful in your web server – as opposed to serving all clients with a single thread in a single process? (Check all that apply.) Multiple threads can spread work across multiple cores / CPUs to decrease processing time.

Multiple threads have greater memory space to read files and write them to the network.

A single thread would have to switch back and forth between each connection, which is slow and annoying to program.

One thread can be reading/writing from the network while another is waiting to read a file off disk.
