advice on spawning threads in plugin to speed up processing

[Dirk Weigenand]

Hi,

i've to comment on a pull request
(https://github.com/weigo/NWDI-Core-Plugin/pulls) to one of my jenkins
plugins that tries to speed up processing through the spawning of new
threads during plugin processing.

My stance on this is: Don't do that! since Jenkins is configured to use
a certain number of build processors and creating threads during plugin
processing would interfere with this.

I'd like to solicit advice from the jenkins delevopers list since i
could not find references to the topic in the wiki or mailing list.

Thank you!

Regards

Dirk
