I think a thread pool would want to use LIFO - it would seem reasonable to
expect that the dispatch of making a more recently run thread ready would be
faster than a less recently run one (it would be unlikely to be slower in
any case). I can't think of any other  reason (off hand) for wanting LIFO. I
must admit that I have never explicitly requested LIFO.
