Plans for making AFFLIB multi-threaded:
Low hanging fruit:
* Compress in background
* Calculate hashes in background
Easy implementation strategy:
* mutext for:
- the entire cache
- each page of the cache
- the TOC (should this be re-implemented as a C++ vector?)
Both compressing and hashing needs access to the page cache in another thread:
- Needs to lock the page cache so no other process will write to it.
- Or needs to make a copy of it.
- Then needs to write it out.
Test program:
- Can we write a method that computes hash in another thread?
