Do they get properly recycled in the garbage collector when done?

Ha!
Isn't that more of parrellism than concurrency?
+Mohammed Al Sahaf I see it as multi-threading.
Its also called synchronization of clocks in distributed systems
LOL I love you plussers, these are some of the best/geekiest comments!
That said….
+Mohammed Al Sahaf Parallelism is the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently ("in parallel") so I think both would be accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing
+Paul Basehore I don't think it's multi-threading since "Multithreading is the ability of a program or an operating system process to manage its use by more than one user at a time and to even manage multiple requests by the same user without having to have multiple copies of the programming running in the computer." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer_architecture) Though you could argue that the guy reading it is multithreading because he has multiple copies of the book open!
That's what I meant, +Paul Spoerry. Multiple books = multiple threads. The reader clearly has multiple cpu cores.
LOL! Righton +Paul Basehore!
