+       help
+         The slow work thread pool provides a number of dynamically allocated
+         threads that can be used by the kernel to perform operations that
+         take a relatively long time.
+
+         An example of this would be CacheFiles doing a path lookup followed
+         by a series of mkdirs and a create call, all of which have to touch
+         disk.
