title: Thread or Task for long running operation
body: <p>I need to have a thread in my app that will be long running (it is a job scheduler, Cron like) and will be most of the time sleeping. So not much CPU and IO. What would you advise me for this . Does a Task with long running option is the proper way to handle this or should I rely on the old fashion Thread and let that thread lives its own life?</p>
