idSysThread is an abstract base class, to be extended by classes implementing the
idSysThread::Run() method. 

	class idMyThread : public idSysThread {
	public:
		virtual int Run() {
			// run thread code here
			return 0;
		}
		// specify thread data here
	};

	idMyThread thread;
	thread.Start( "myThread" );

A worker thread is a thread that waits in place (without consuming CPU)
until work is available. A worker thread is implemented as normal, except that, instead of
calling the Start() method, the StartWorker() method is called to start the thread.
Note that the Sys_CreateThread function does not support the concept of worker threads.

	class idMyWorkerThread : public idSysThread {
	public:
		virtual int Run() {
			// run thread code here
			return 0;
		}
		// specify thread data here
	};

	idMyWorkerThread thread;
	thread.StartThread( "myWorkerThread" );
 
	// main thread loop
	for ( ; ; ) {
		// setup work for the thread here (by modifying class data on the thread)
		thread.SignalWork();           // kick in the worker thread
		// run other code in the main thread here (in parallel with the worker thread)
		thread.WaitForThread();        // wait for the worker thread to finish
		// use results from worker thread here
	}

In the above example, the thread does not continuously run in parallel with the main Thread,
but only for a certain period of time in a very controlled manner. Work is set up for the
Thread and then the thread is signalled to process that work while the main thread continues.
After doing other work, the main thread can wait for the worker thread to finish, if it has not
finished already. When the worker thread is done, the main thread can safely use the results
from the worker thread.

Note that worker threads are useful on all platforms but they do not map to the SPUs on the PS3.

The concept of worker thread Groups is probably most useful for tools and compilers.
For instance, the AAS Compiler is using a worker thread group. Although worker threads
will work well on the PC, Mac and the 360, they do not directly map to the PS3,
in that the worker threads won't automatically run on the SPUs.
