Hi,

This is a proposal to not use a thread pool by default. It hurts
performance in most of the cases. Hence lets switch default so
that most of the users get better performance out of the box.

I have run virtiofs-tests with and without thread pool and posted
results here.

One can notice, that except few cases, results are much better with
no thread pool.

Vivek
