What's the point of having 12 threads if only 2 are going to run at a time? Why not just create 2 threads, let them run and when one finishes create a another?

Anyway, this[^] should give you all the examples you need to start using threads.

That is a terrible idea and never go for it. I'd suggest you to use a ThreadPool and forget about managing how many threads executes at a time. ThreadPool queues up the work requests and process them with optimum resources.
