Threadpools make sense when the CPU-time consumed by the thread is
in the magnitude of the time to create a thread through the kernel;
when the CPU-time is a higher, creating a thread rather doesn't hurt.
As you can't know which amount of data your algorithms operate on
you can't know the runtime so you can't know if using thread-pools
is generally appropriate.
