As some may have seen in .NET 4.0, they've added a new namespace System.Threading.Tasks which basically is what is means, a task. I've only been using it for a few days, from using ThreadPool.
Which one is more efficient and less resource consuming? (Or just better overall?)

C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr. Stroustroupe.
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C. It is easy to learn because: A simple syntax with only 32 keywords.
C is more difficult to learn than JavaScript, but it's a valuable skill to have because most programming languages are actually implemented in C. This is because C is a “machine-level” language. So learning it will teach you how a computer works and will actually make learning new languages in the future easier.
The objective of the Tasks namespace is to provide a pluggable architecture to make multi-tasking applications easier to write and more flexible.
The implementation uses a TaskScheduler object to control the handling of tasks. This has virtual methods that you can override to create your own task handling. Methods include for instance
protected virtual void QueueTask(Task task) public virtual int MaximumConcurrencyLevel There will be a tiny overhead to using the default implementation as there's a wrapper around the .NET threads implementation, but I'd not expect it to be huge.
There is a (draft) implementation of a custom TaskScheduler that implements multiple tasks on a single thread here.

Irrelevant, there will be very little difference.
(Or just better overall)
The Task class will be the easier-to-use as it offers a very clean interface for starting and joining threads, and transfers exceptions. It also supports a (limited) form of load balancing.
