unreasonable Thread Usage.

Hi there ! , i am wondering why okhttp create new threads even when i use it Synchronous. here is my sample code :

//Thread.activeCount() return 1

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

//this line create 2 new threads but why ? , what's wrong with using current thread ?!
Response response = client.newCall(new Request.Builder().url("https://google.com").get().build()).execute();

It’s explained here. No plans to change that. https://github.com/square/okhttp/wiki/Concurrency

Yeah, but that library doesn’t use HTTP/2. OkHttp only spins up another thread for HTTP/2.
