Hello João, No, Put only the main TWSockerServer into a separated thread, that's all, this is if your applicationis not a service and has a graphical interface (one or more windows), so even if you have hudge network activity, your buttons/menus in your forms will stay responsive.
Making one thread per client is non-sense using asynchronous ICS model. But eventually, you may create some worker thread or temporary thread that will proceed some longer requests without queueing for too long time all other events ICS sockets will receive. Regards.
