Agreed. My class does not alter the total time taken, but it does free up 
the original task to carry on with other work.

run_in_executor() uses threads by default, but it does allow you to specify 
processes as an alternative.

Thanks for that link. I had a quick scan, and it looks interesting, but some 
of it a bit above my head. I have bookmarked it, as I think that as my 
understanding increases, I will gain more from it on each re-read.
