Use less number of threads

[avamsi]

Flash currently creates 8 * NUMBER_OF_IP_ADDRESSES threads per download (the number of threads increases with each download, even in the same instance of the app).

While I never really had any problems with the current design, it is, admittedly, lazy. The number of threads should optimally be same as NUMBER_OF_IP_ADDRESSES per instance.

Will there be any increase in performance if it is changed to 1(from 8)?

Performance increase, as in more download speed? No.
Performance increase, as in less load on the CPU? Yes.

Okk. Asked you because I felt that increasing the no.of IPs beyond a certain point is decreasing the download speed so I thought decreasing threads might also increase the speed :p
