obviously that method is fine if you are forced to show thread detail , but, you wouldn't want to do all your threads that way because of the increase in file size with each extra thread.

Unless you are 3d printing your part there is NO need to model threads and as tim stated it will just slow you down due to the larger file size/complexity.
But if you must a profile/coil is what everyone does.
There is also a thread modeler plugin that works well on the autodesk labs site.
Might be true for very large threads, but for smaller threads once you back out far enough to see an assembly - can't tell the difference between cosmetic and real.
So two valid situations - large threads and close enough to actually see the difference for customer and second situation - RP models.
The OP needs to continue discussion with response on actual design intent. As it is - the question for this thread was "create real threads".
