I think we need to provide more tools to allow users to control system
behavior on a more dynamic basis. How many workers to launch is a good
example. There's more reasons than just CPU that parallel workers can
help (IO being an obvious one, but possible other things like GPU).
Another example is allowing users to alter the selection process used by
autovac workers.
