I wouldn't bother.  It's actually well known that for fast efficient IO 
you should start as many threads as possible.  21 threads aren't going 
to swamp anything.

If you start to have in excess of say 100 to 1000 threads, then maybe 
you can think about a throttle.  Until there's a chance of that many 
threads, you're just gold-plating your software.
