When might you use a subprocess instead of a start process?

Using a subprocess can be particularly beneficial when the process includes functionalities that are complex or difficult to debug. Subprocesses allow developers to isolate distinct parts of a larger process, making it easier to test and troubleshoot specific sections without affecting the entire process flow. This modular approach helps in identifying issues and ensuring that modifications can be made in a contained environment.

The use of subprocesses is advantageous for handling intricate logic or operations that might otherwise complicate the main process. By encapsulating the challenging parts of the process within a subprocess, developers can focus on debugging and optimizing these specific segments, leading to a more manageable development experience.

In contrast, while options like user input tasks, performance maximization, or timers relate to different aspects of process design, they do not directly relate to the purpose of debugging or isolating complex functionalities, which is a critical aspect when choosing to implement a subprocess versus starting a new process entirely.
