 Replying to [comment:2 jmroot]:
 > I think what you really want here is better thread pool management that
 starts with one thread and only creates a new thread if all existing
 threads are busy when adding a job.

 Sure, that would be great too, particularly if it's not difficult to
 implement.

 But in the interim, if you'd be interested in a thread count override, I
 could submit a PR for it?
