Beautiful! Though I'd shorten the names to just "threads" and
"records"; saying "number of X" isn't usually necessary, plus, the
general principle of Huffman coding your names recommends using
something shorter for a short-lived iteration variable. But otherwise,
that's exactly what I'd be looking at - descriptive and clear.
