%%% An optimization: erl_prim_loader gets the chance of loading many
%%% files in parallel, using threads. This will reduce the seek times,
%%% and loaded code can be processed while other threads are waiting
%%% for the disk. The optimization is not tried unless the loader is
%%% "efile" and there is a non-empty pool of threads.
%%%
%%% Many threads are needed to get a good result, so it would be
%%% beneficial to load several applications in parallel. However,
%%% measurements show that the file system handles one directory at a
%%% time, regardless if parallel threads are created for files on
%%% several directories (a guess: writing the meta information when
%%% the file was last read ('mtime'), forces the file system to sync
%%% between directories).
