If you’re going to make a confident blanket claim, be ready to back it up - and asking for clarification is not trolling, by the way. You should be ready to engage in technical conversations if you want to make technical claims.

I'm not interested in a technical conversation with you; I was answering someone else. The top voted comment thread of this page, which dominates discussion, already covers everything you'd want to know.

There is an expectation that threads are more performant than processes all else being equal. Obviously there is some work involved to make "all else be equal", like maybe threads have less isolation from each other etc but if you can mechanically convert code to use threads where it used to use processes I can see the claim standing up.
