Follow-up support plan

[wurangbo]

This repository has not been updated for a long time. Is there any further update in the next step, such as .net7 .net8...

[MichelZ]

It works just fine in .net7 and .net8 ?

[srxqds]

as we know, c# also have thread pool, Is it still necessary or advantageous based on .net8.0?

[MichelZ]

I still use it, I like the simplicity of it

[srxqds]

any benchmark between .net8 and this library?

[ahazelwood]

We still use it quite extensively as it allows features such as maintaining a queue, etc. that are useful to us, and would require quite a rewrite to fully switch over to the base thread pool.

The SmartThreadPool doesn’t compete with the built-in .net thread pool for speed.
It should be used for “long” running actions, rather than short ones, that cause many context switches.

The SmartThreadPool is more about features, such as:

• Threads limits
• Work items groups with concurrency
• Work items priority queue

[wurangbo]

The advantages of SmartThreadPool are unquestionable, But a long period of no updates will make developers feel hesitant when choosing @amibar
