I am in the middle of a project that requires about five Threads to be running in background simultaneously. None of them are connected to each other. Is the best way to ensure maximum efficiency, adding a yield() method to each one?

When you finish one task on one thread, use yield() to give other threads chances to run. That's a good method.
