I am newly presented with
Enable slow work thread pool (SLOW_WORK) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?
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.
However, this does not tell me whether I need or want this.
And, why must the user make this choice at all? Surely it can be
auto-selected, if cachefs is enabled? At a minimum, hide this under
CONFIG_EMBEDDED or whatnot, so that most users don't see this choice, IMO.
