On the last few releases, NSOperationQueue is built on top of libdispatch, so the number of threads in the pool will scale based on system load. On OS X and iOS, libdispatch is tightly integrated with Cocoa, and I wonder if we should consider making it a hard dependency for GNUstep now that it's been widely ported (Apple uses it on Windows, but I don't know if anyone has built it with MinGW?).
