Note that if your application is I/O-intensive, you can already
exploit parallelism within one process. Use bigstrings as buffers and
perform I/O outside of the OCaml-lock if releasing it (depends on
I/O-size) is more efficient. That way you can have many threads
performing I/O-system calls simultaneously.
