Question about thread

[Valkyrie]

To be more precise, what I want to do is to have a threaded program to handle
some jobs concurrently (while those jobs are fetching  information from the
Internet, so threading could speed up the process if the network is slow)

            start
              | (blahblahblah...)
              v
  +-----+-----+-----+-----+
  |     |     |     |     |
--+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+--
|   | |   | |   | |   | |   |
| A | | B | | C | | D | | E |
|   | |   | |   | |   | |   |
--+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+--
  |     |     |     |     |
  +-----+-----+-----+-----+
              | (blahblahblah...)
              v
           finish!

While process A-E will access the shared variables within the same program, and
each of those processes will have to parse a document on its own.
