+        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.
