Cost of running ofThread?

Hi, I'm using ofxThreadedImageLoader addon. And it is calling startThread() in its constructor so the thread always runs in the background until the class gets destroyed.

I'm currently trying to create a new class that can copy/rename/remove directory on a different thread. And I wonder if it is okay (CPU-wise) to make the thread always run in the background just like how ofxThreadedImageLoader addon was designed.

Thanks.

PS. Is there any good example that deals with threaded ofDirectory/ofFile?
