Some answers have claimed that much of the time is not an idiomatic phrase, and/or that it is restricted to particular meanings. However, Google claims around 171 million results for the phrase. While some of these are part of other phrases («How much of the time», «so much of the time»), looking at the first few pages of results suggests that «much of the time» is a common idiomatic phrase, and that the contexts where it can be used don’t differ significantly from «most of the time».
COCA shows a similar picture (494 occurrences, some of which as part of other phrases, but most not — though contrasted with 3655 occurrences of «most of the time»). So it exists, but is much less common than «most of the time».
My own experience, which seems to match the examples I’ve found from both sources, is that «most of the time», while technically correct for anything that occurs more than 50% of the time, tends to be used for things that occur much more than 50% of the time. The phrase «much of the time», then, conveys a sense of something that happens frequently, or for a significant proportion of the time, but not enough to call it «most of the time».

As far as it may matter I’ve heard about «most of the times» meaning more than 50% of the occurrences of something, I’ve heard about «most of the time» meaning more than 50% of the time duration of something, but I’ve never heard about «most of time».
I am sharing this as a non native speaker, thus less exposed to informal language.
Cheers.

Hello, changwecanbelievein. I think you should regard «most of time» as an error. I do. «Most of the time» is ordinary.
People may mumble when they speak, forget to include a word, etc. People may omit a word when they are typing. It’s also possible that some people are using «most of time» without being aware that it is wrong.

It’s simply not correct, Changewecanbelievein. Most of the the examples you posted appear to be transcripts of conversations, so the most likely explanation is that the speaker just barely said the — e.g., said «most of th’ time,» barely voicing that th’ — or that the person or machine that made the transcription made a mistake. In the link you posted, it’s an error, plain and simple. The only idiomatic way to say this is «most of the time.»

Most of time, you just create a thread, assign some task to it, and then continue to process other affairs. In these cases, you don’t care how the thread terminates, and a detached thread is a good choice.
Most likely a typo. It’s not correct.

See the section detached threads.
In the same article we see
Threads can be created and managed less operating system overhead and fewer system resources.
Clearly this should be:
Threads can be created and managed with less operating system overhead and fewer system resources.
There are other mistakes. The author is writing technically for a limited readership. He or she is not trying to be meticulous about English.
