Despite what I said above, however, I would also take a default position against adding any kind of more advanced scheduling system here. It would, perhaps, make sense to expose the APIs for controlling the platform scheduler, though.

I would also like to have an exposed API and optional profiling
(optional as in conditional compilation, not as in some sort of
profiling 'flag' that slows down non-profiling runs) so that you can
see what's going on well enough to use the API to tune a particular
platform for a particular workload.
