Maybe a bit complex, but some elements could have a "num-threads" property with
limits that match what they can reasonably do, defaulting to 1. This would
allow an automated way to allocate more threads in a pipeline by trawling all
the elements and bumping num-threads on some of those that have a max > 1 by
the number of available cores.
Since this could be automated, you could leave the decision on the bumping to
the high level layer. Also, it becomes easy to add that num-threads property on
new elements as they become multithread able, without impacting the higher
level "load balancing" code.
