1706925 - evaluate the worker thread model

Status: NEW

(Core :: WebRTC, task, P3)

Description

[Nico Grunbaum [:ng, @chew:mozilla.org]]

Evaluate the worker thread model (one thread pool, 4 threads) to see whether:
One thread pool is fine, or if we’re better served by one pool per TaskQueue type (so the thread pool is the same for that type across all calls).
4 threads is enough. Especially if betting on the single-pool case.

NB we already made a change to the model, where the call taskqueue (process global) sits on its own (single thread) thread pool, to avoid getting starved out by all the worker taskqueues (often per-stream or per-call). The size of the worker thread pool remains to be evaluated.
