Wasn't the idea that

(a) we were going to gradually migrate to running everything on the same thread,

(b) except for the handful of places where parallelism is truly beneficial

(c) and for those parallel places, each parallel chunk would live in it's own little island, interacting as little as 
possible with the main thread.
