Hi,
`htop` output for Emacs shows four threads which are user-level
threads. What does this mean if Emacs is single-threaded?
For example, this is the output I am getting on my machine:
#+begin_src shell
PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command
4780 narendraj 20 0 723M 229M 35008 S 1.3 6.7 1:00.04 emacs
4782 narendraj 20 0 723M 229M 35008 S 0.0 6.7 0:00.00 emacs
4783 narendraj 20 0 723M 229M 35008 S 0.0 6.7 0:00.00 emacs
4784 narendraj 20 0 723M 229M 35008 S 0.0 6.7 0:00.00 emacs
#+end_src
Thanks,

They are not threads started by the Emacs application code, but by the
various libraries Emacs uses (probably GTK).
