In order to create a good user experience long running tasks should not be executed from the main thread, instead they should be run in the background. Unity coroutines do not entirely solve this problem as they are still run on the main thread. Enter Task Parallel which enables you to create and manage tasks that run in the background on their own threads with just one function call.

• Easily run work on the UI thread
• Wait for one or more threads to finish
