Re: [android-developers] Re: java Thread class vs Android HanderThread: which is better?

Also, and correct me if I'm wrong.

AsyncTask uses an internal threadpool to balance background requests.
This is really useful if you making many network calls at once but
don't want to start a new thread for each one.
Also, you do get slightly better performance because with AsyncTask
the threads are already running. If you implement your own thread you
have the overhead of starting the thread.
