Am I missing something???


Yup, you're missing the piece of information that states that threads need to be created before they execute code. Look at it as if each thread was an application; each app needs be started, needs resources, needs handling.. that's all overhead.

Threads are used to divide the work over multiple cores, if there's much work to do (anything that takes longer than a second, according to MS design guidelines)

Try copying large files from the methods, you'll find that the second thread can work on the second core, without having to wait for thread 1 Smile | :)
