ThreadPool for a Service That Adapts to External Load
summary
A ThreadPool implementation tuned for services that download files over SMB, using a hill-climbing adaptive algorithm to maximize CPU and network utilization while dynamically ceding resources when higher-priority services need them. The approach integrates resource-aware scaling so the downloader runs efficiently but reduces its footprint under increased external load to avoid impacting other system services.
