wait() blocks the thread from which it is called until the thread on 
which it is called terminates. Generally you should be calling this when 
the application is about to exit, or e.g. when you've instructed the 
thread to exit and it is not expected to hang around much longer (or has 
already exited).

That sounds like a job for QThreadPool and/or QtConcurrent. I would try 
to avoid actually creating a large number of threads, as they consume 
system resources, and instead create a work queue and limit the number 
of threads that ever exist concurrently. (QtConcurrent basically does 
that for you, automatically. I haven't worked with QThreadPool but I 
believe it is similar; in fact I believe it is used to implement 
QtConcurrent.)
