+* Function to auto-optimize number of thread pool threads based on
+  benchmark results
+* Right now future-id is generated by gensym. This might be a global
+  lock
+* Obtain system processor/core information (need a library to do this)
+  and make a thread pool for each processor, where all the threads
+  have their affinity set to that processor. This should alleviate
+  contention for the thread pool locks and cache-coherency protocol
+  thrashing, but will require implementing things like work-stealing
+  queues.
