Threads slow down main loop

I'm currently on phone and can't get the full code. It' based on pygame. But its something like this:

def func():
    #Bunch of for loops that needs 0.2 secs
#Main loop
while True:
    clock.tick(60)
    thr=Thread(target=func) 
    thr. start() 
    #Here it draws frames(it should be 60 per second, but because of threads, it's only 5)

These threads reduce frame rate.(They lag the main loop) I know that the clock.tick(60) isn't problem here. Should I create thread for this while loop?

Why are you spawning threads like no tomorrow in the while True loop?

I don't think there exists one case where this could be beneficial to your program.

I would strongly advise to manage carefully the number of your threads in your program and joining them if they are not daemon.
