As long as it is more than what's on my personal desktop :)

The thread pool approach is nice because it means there isn't thread
startup overhead -- just whatever overhead there is from pushing jobs
onto a queue.

On the down side, a thread pool is somewhat more complicated.

Still, if we want it eventually, maybe we should just start with it.
One possible bad part is that if we don't have std::thread then I wonder
if the other things like futures will be available.
