Multithread
For a long time, most programming applications were single-threaded. in now world most of the applications are single threaded, That means there was only one thread in the entire application. You could never do Process A until completing process B. A multithreaded application allows you to run process A and process B simulteniously, using threading you could finish your program in a quarter of the time.

A suggestion: be careful with terminology. You "process" can cause confusion which is not like thread but some unit of execution providing isolation from different process and hosting one or more threads. I do understand you did not mean that, but it could cause confusion. Your statement about "most of the applications" and "a quarter of the time" is questionable. The problem of performance is really complex, it depends on how many cores and thread. Generally, you cannot accelerate anything with threads preempting each other on the same CPU or CPU core. Threads are more important not for performance but for logic of processing.

You will find a good deal of advice in my answers to past CodeProject questions:

Control.Invoke() vs. Control.BeginInvoke()[^],
Problem with Treeview Scanner And MD5[^],
How to get a keydown event to operate on a different thread in vb.net[^],
Control events not firing after enable disable + multithreading[^].

See also my advice of thread wrapper:
How to pass ref parameter to the thread[^],
change paramters of thread (producer) after it started[^].

Use of event handle for thread synchronization:
