Before entering in long explanations, would you please explain why you think you need multithreading ? Multithreading is not the universal solution and frequently people think they need it while they don't. Misused multithreading simply slow down overall system ! Remember that ICS socket is an asynchonous non-blocking event driven component. It doesn't require multithreading to have responsive applications. Specially a client side. This being said: "high speed data stream from Java socket server" doesn't mean much. Java is by nature a slow system and the stream speed can't be faster than the slowest network speed you have between the client and the server. Network speed is composed of a lot of items. If you have a xDSL connection, this will probably be the slowest part. If you have a gigabit LAN, probably your network card will be the slowest. And of course if the server application is not able to sustain the physical network thruput, this will be the limiting factor. To come back to your client application, it is likely that the GUI is the slowest part, except maybe the parsing and processing of data. You will probably need at most one worker thread beside the main thread. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
