Thanks for the explanation. I can see why it wouldn't make sense to have a
resizable BalancingDispatcher.

I have taken good note of your remarks on the code and I will integrate it
in my code.

However this discussion made me realize that the balancing dispatcher is
not, in fact, adapted to my use case.

I was hoping to use the work-stealing properties of the balancing
dispatcher to avoid having to provide my own custom implementation of the
work pulling pattern.
I see now that I was mistaken, and will have to roll my own, with the
buffering and all.

Thanks again for your answers

Jean
