Subject: Why not call Thread.join?

Take this code from the Ruby Cookbook:

module Enumerable
   def each_simultaneously
     threads = []
     each { |e| threads << Thread.new { yield e } }
     return threads
   end
end

It is used on an array so that you may do this:
[1,2,3].each_simultaneously do |i|
	sleep 5
	puts i
end

And it works!

But why don't I need to call threads.each {|t| t.join }?

And if I did, would it slow it down?

Thanks,
Ari
