Would adding a parameter in the nature of `maxProcessors` make any sense? Kind of but i would recommend not doing it. That's hard to express in a manner that developers will choose appropriate values across all deployments. This is why you don't see such configuration for parallel streams or the parallel array operations.[…] Thanks for the background. — […] I think it would be useful to get a sense of whether the recursion goes beyond some proportion of # runtime processors after which there is likely no point in creating more recursive tasks e.g. from the size in bits of the inputs can we determine a useful approximate threshold? That sounds like a good idea.
