Anyway, this was all premised on slow performance that Doug observed as part of ForkJoin mechanics. It would be good to hear back from him on how this updated approach performs. If the FJ code has changed such that this is no longer an issue then I would suggest that Mandy's changes are "good enough" and we let her move on.
Sorry for a non-answer: I long ago reworked ForkJoin to not use this because it was much too slow. (Sorry, I can't easily reconstruct version using it to check changes.) If it were improved enough to run in only a few cycles I might start using it routinely. If it were in-between, I might use it in a different way as a backup strategy. -Doug
