spawning threads is not free. reusing threads is also not free, but a lot cheaper than spawning now ones. the difference can add up quite a bit on nixos system evaluation; we've seen 20k threads cycled through on even modestly sized configurations, and at 20µs per thread just to launch and tear down (excluding any work done) that's potentially not insignificant. in our test config this was a 3% eval time difference.
