If you look up the docs you'll see that it's actually potentially worse -- it leaves no chance for cleanup and in some cases could have adverse effects on other processes. It's also an API function, not a script call. Maybe you should explain what you're actually trying to accomplish. It's hard to imagine any reason for anyone to be picking off threads inside a running process, much less a script.
