There is an opinion that threads and processes are almost the same from the performance point of view:

This is from April 2009 - more than 6.5 years old. It talks of Linux 2.4 vs. 2.6. We now have Linux 4.2; don't take this link too serious without checking if it is still valid for recent kernels.
The most valuable answer was last edited in 2012 with the comments from 2014. So I would assume that it is still valid even for 4.3. Are you aware of any significant changes in this field ?
Not particularly. I know that in 2.6 were big chances in the scheduling. First the O(1) scheduler, later the CFQ scheduler. And the scheduler can have significant influence on process and thread performance. Jochen
