The "threads" flag depends on the specific packages. Some packages
provide multithreading support (improves performance on
multi-core/multi-CPU machines). You need to check with each specific
package on whether it considers threads as a good idea or not. That
pretty much means you should not set it in make.conf, but rather for
each specific package. As Crístian mentioned, for Python you should
leave it as-is. For other packages, you need to check first. The docs
or the package's homepage or its mailing list/forum might be a good
starting point.
