multi-threading in posted examples

In the VB examples posted here, there is a statement that imports System.threading. The API says that the core is single-threaded, and the .NET docs say this namespace enables threading. One example I am looking at is the Print Whole Table program.

Why specifically import the multi-threading namespace if the core is single-threaded?

Templates for examples were copy&pasted, so naturally namespace imports were copy&pasted, if there is that name space import its probably 'cause one of other examples uses it. Import of namespace System.Threading does not enable anything by itself, but allows to work with Threads. Example that reads incoming ticks uses Thread.Sleep(), which to my knowledge requires it. None of the examples are multi-threaded.
