intermediateMultithreading & Concurrency

How do you size a ThreadPoolExecutor differently for CPU-bound vs I/O-bound workloads?

CPU-bound: pool size ≈ number of CPU cores (more threads than cores just adds context-switching overhead). I/O-bound: pool size can be much larger than core count, since threads spend most of their time blocked waiting on I/O rather than actually using the CPU.
