threadpool

threadpool provides a spawn function that allows you to run a function in a separate thread like task.spawn, however, it will pool and reuse threads.

This uses a global pool of free threads, when spawn is called, it'll take a thread from the pool and run the function in it, if there isn't a thread available it'll create a new one. Once the function has finished running, the thread will be returned to the pool.

This can make spawning threads significantly faster than using task.spawn.
