To avoid angering the reduction-based-scheduling-gods-that-**will**-
smite-you-if-you-really-do-this, your NIF is no longer so small because
you'll need to do your own thread pool management + use the NIF to
initiate the sync + message passing when the pool has finished work.

Or you pass the work to a new-fangled dirty scheduler?
