Difference between Async task and Thread

Async tasks are not run off of the main thread, creating another Thread should have the same effect.

 

I think Async is more resource efficient? Not sure

 

Iirc async tasks draw from a pool of threads that were already created by the server, and giving a task to an existing thread is more resource efficient than creating an entirely new one
