Threads + WebResponse

onez

I have a program that goes through a loop where it gets HTML from sites and processes it. Is connecting to the site, which can take over a few seconds, a "processor intensive task"? Would it be a good idea to try to thread in some of the classes during the HTTP response class. So threads help to make a program synchronized but do not acutally speed up the function of the program? What are most threads used for?

Threads allow you to do multiple things at once, but the overall speed of execution should be about the same. In your case, you will probably want to use threads so that you can attempt to connect to multiple sites simultaneously.
