Why is it assumed that threads created by NSURLConnection are faster
than threads created manually with NSThread?

Threads would be unnecessary hassle and probably slower performing.
NSURLConnection maintains its own private thread for performing the
work of all open URL connections, even if you are using the
synchronous API. By using NSThread, you are just bringing an extra
unnecessary thread into the mix (possibly more if you're planning 1
thread per-image) and then have to co-ordinate between it and the
main thread. The async NSURLConnection API takes care of that for
you already.
The only possible performance bottleneck that a thread might benefit
you is turning the downloaded image data into a UIImage. If you find
that is being slow, then maybe consider a thread-based solution for
that portion of the work.

Just curious, but if I am loading images into a UIImageView in
table cells
from online URLs, is it better to use NSThread or use async
NSURLConnection
to ensure that the scrolling is smooth while images are loaded in?
