Asynchronicity is the price to pay, you better know what you're paying for...

Let's share some vocabulary first:

Thread: The primitive responsible of executing code on the processor, you can give an existing (or a new) Thread some code, and it will execute it. Normally you can have a few hundreds on a JVM, arguments that you can tweak your way out to thousands. Worth noting that multitasking is achieved when using multiple Threads. Multiple Threads can exist for a single processor in which case multitasking happens when this processor switches between threads, called context switching, which will give the impression of things happenning in parallel. An example of a direct, and probably naive, use of a new Thread in Java:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  public void run(){
 System.out.println("MyRunnable running");
