+ help
+ 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.
