Subject: Threads or Fibers - which should I use?

My application will perform a number of tasks.  As it is a GUI
application, I want the application to remain responsive to other input
while it's performing other tasks.  A good example of this might be:

A search operation
A compile operation

While the search operation is in effect, no other searches can be
performed until the operation is completed.  While a compile operation
is in effect, no other compile option can be completed.

However, a search operation, a compile operation, and other GUI
functionality should still be accessible and responsive.

Give this scenario, which would be better to use - threads or fibers?
