A pool is a container of a limited amount of threads to which you can add tasks to run.

This is usually more performant and less memory intensive than creating a new thread for every task.

Constructor Details

#initialize(min, max = nil, &block) ⇒ Pool

Create the pool with minimum and maximum threads.

The pool will start with the minimum amount of threads created and will spawn new threads until the max is reached in case of need.

A default block can be passed, which will be used to #process the passed data.
