I don't think this is the right pattern for a thread pool.  There you 
usually start all the threads and let them fetch tasks from a single 
queue.  Taking threads out of a pool and into a pool seems much more 
complex especially since you want to block inactive threads.  The queue 
variant is much simpler.  Or did you have something else in mind?

Kind regards
