Running more than a simple amount of code on a scheduler thread turns out to be a very bad idea for R15 and later versions of the BEAM. Here we use a thread-pool to execute work after being queued on the scheduler thread. By placing more long-running tasks onto non-scheduler threads we lower the chances of confusing the Erlang scheduler and in so doing hopefully avoid having stalled scheduler threads.
