I knew I must be missing something. You can also set the core.async threadpool size with
(System/setProperty "clojure.core.async.pool-size" "42") as long as that runs before any core.async code tries to use the threadpool. Some context on why the change was made to 8 would be good, but it is easy to set this value yourself.
