the tasks for which state-threads work well for are IO bound multiplexing tasks, pthreads are better for CPU-bound tasks.
Why not make this explicit?
forkCPU :: IO () -> IO ()
On systems incapable of preemption, forkCPU = id. The semantics of
forkCPU is that the computation involved in the argument is
time-consuming and should not block other computations if possible.
