When to suggest?

Question

I have never written code that uses threads.

I have a web application that accepts a POST request and creates an image based on the data in the request body.

Do I want to disable the thread to create the image to prevent the server from freezing before creating the image? Is this a suitable use or just a solution looking for a problem?

Please correct any misconceptions I may have.
