Hi,

The async thread pool works exactly the same in both the SMP VM and
the non SMP VM i.e I suppose
you can say that they don't interact.

The asynch thread pool is only used by the file driver in the code we
deliver but there is a documented
interface where you as a user can implement your own driver which also
used the asynch thread pool.
