Multi-Threading allow a single application to run many procedures at the
same time.
This is useful in servers for example where a server may be required to run
procedures to answer client requests. With multi-threading you can accept
another client request before finishing the processing of the last client
request.
(Note : This description is not exactly accurate - in that you can write
servers which handle multiple client requests without multi-threading.
However this description gives a good idea to an audience of the purpose of
Multi-threading.)
