There is a Reddit post discussing this point: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/16fxr58/comment/k04u7...

> There are many scenarios that require CPU, such as image downscaling, image encoding, code highlighting, sorting large directories, etc.

What advantage does thread pool + io_uring have over just thread pool?

Unless you have millions of CPU cores and therefore many downscaling/encoding/highlighting tasks starting/finishing every second, I still don't see what io_uring brings to the table.

Running tasks in the background does NOT require io_uring.

Hey, Yazi currently is NOT using io_uring, and the link provided above explains it thoroughly, please take a careful look.
