Number of CPUs + 2 is what pmap uses, and I assumed the idea was to
keep all the CPUs busy in the event that one finishes before the
others. I wrote it before I did testing with npmap. Since reading your
last post, I did a bit of testing with modified versions of zpmap and
found that it isn't makin

The trouble with pmap is that it only works well with a slow function
and a short sequence. In trivial tests, it seems to be best if the
sequence has as many elements as you do cores.
I've been experimenting with things that are like pmap, but work
better in situations that I care about. I'm havin
I've written a small simulation program, in order to help me learn
Clojure. I've reproduced it below. It's quite likely not very
idiomatic - any suggestions on how to improve it would be nice.
However, my main concern is that it doesn't seem to scale as I would
expect when multi-threading.
