- The slow work thread pool provides a number of dynamically allocated
- threads that can be used by the kernel to perform operations that
- take a relatively long time.

- An example of this would be CacheFiles doing a path lookup followed
- by a series of mkdirs and a create call, all of which have to touch
- disk.
