I\'m fond of using UML diagrams to describe my software. In the majority of cases the diagrams are for my own use and I use them for more involved pieces of code, interactio

Answer 1

UML strongest point is depicting the static structure. If you use short-lived threads, I also don't see any easy way of diagramming them. Maybe you can find a solution by turning things around a bit: why do you use/need threads? What's the functionality they provide? If they interact with each other and follow some (message passing) API, drawing them as components might make sense.
