I think it'd help us help you the most if you talked a little bit about
what your requirements are and what your goals are as well.

There's many different solutions to concurrency in C++. Asio is obviously
I/O focused. It does also contain a simple thread pool implementation.

But there's also other concurrency libs like TBB, which are more
parallel-focused.

In principle, I don't think there's anything inherently incorrect about
using the Asio thread pool as a generic task runner.
