Create new thread, how much time is needed?

I have a main loop, and there are some loops inside it.

I want to multithread the loops inside. (a complete cycle of main loop takes 50-200 milliseconds. the main loop has about 3-4 loops inside)

How much time is needed to create a new Thread?

What is the fastest way to create and destroy threads?

If you have .NET 4 (VS 2010) at your disposal, look at the Task Parallel Library - specifically Parallel.For() and Parallel.ForEach() for threading your looping constructs.

You should use the ThreadPool.
This allows you to reuse threads from a managed pool instead of creating and destroying new threads each time.
