More threads do not automatically mean fewer execution time, especially if disc access is involved. You can fire as many threads as you want, your disc-controller won't ever be able to read more than one file at a time.
But these are just my 2 cents :) Good luck

Why multiple? Create just one extra thread, in addition to you UI. Do you think by adding a thread will add you a computing power? Add as many as the number of CPU code, no more. Or better just one.

I agree with comment that if you wont to work with same resource (in your case HDD) more threads will not spead-up your work and may slow it down due to context switching. Anyway ThreadPool is the solution for your problem
