Re: Terminate unused worker threads

Excerpts from Simon Marlow's message of Wed Nov 17 06:15:46 -0500 2010:

I suggest keeping track of the number of items in the queue.

Ok, I added a spare_workers_no field to the Capability struct.

So I think the main thing missing is a call to workerTaskStop().

Added.

It would be really nice if we could arrange that in the case where we have too many spare workers, the extra workers exit via the same route, but I suspect that might not be easy.

Do you mean, spare workers that have useful tasks to do? Edward
