Details

Currently, we'll happily create as many threads as parsers for preloading. While this is OK, I worry about the edge case where somebody is recovering for a crash with 50 windows and 10 tabs in each window. In such a case, we'll create too many threads and possibly run out of resources. We could create a threadpool to limit the number of preload threads at any time to something reasonable like 10 or 20.

Not fixing this before checking in turned out to be the cause of major crashiness. The version that stuck uses a threadpool.
